About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading Hedonism

ABOUT ME

I'm living in the center of Trier in a house-community full of wonderful people. Most of the time my life is oscillating between the two poles of focused work on my Phd on the one hand and different kinds of distractions on the other. I love dancing & DJing, being & working in my little garden above the hills of Trier, different kinds of sports & also Sauna - especially during cold german winters. ;-) My profession is being a Lecturer; focus on Positive Psychology.

PHILOSOPHY

You lay a path by walking it.

You miss every shot you don't take.

Carpe diem.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

not only one

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you to get some basic German-language-skills, or give you a brief tutorial on how to prepare the perfect cup of green tea, or - if I have time - show you my little garden (if you're lucky & the time's right there'll be fresh tomatoes, potatoes and son on).

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're interested, some Positive Psychology knowledge or philosophical thoughts. But first of all many good stories.
