About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make Witzenhausen my home. It is a lovely place :)

ABOUT ME

I love:
1. Teaching
2. Learning nice stuff
3. Thinking about new concepts, meet new people and new ways of thinking.
4. Dance!
5. Climb
6. And a lot of other things...

Mostly I'm a one day adventures type of a guy.
(although I manged with hitchhiking 3 weeks in Australia and I'm still traveling so maybe this is a good time to revise this statement...)

At the end of the day I'm Happy to return home. (and a prefect HOME can be anywhere I feel safe enough to close my eyes for a nap and also can cook freely).

I get along with most type of people and I'm best as a partner in getting into adventures (most were between safe and curious).
I like washing dishes, talk, walk and dance, discover new things, play, outdoor activities, read, movies and a lot more if I mange the spare time for it. (and now also wall climbing.....)

PHILOSOPHY

I listen.
Act if needed.
I move slowly, politely and in a fun way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1: a conservation between me and my awesome nephew:

Nephew: I don't think you are a responsible adult...
Me: Did we made a mess?
Nephew: Yes.
Me: Did we had fun?
Nephew: Yes...
Me: where we in any real danger along the way?
Nephew: Probably Not...
Me: Did we manged to grab something to eat along the way?
Nephew: Yes.
Me: I AM A RESPONSIBLE ADULT!!

2: A dream I had:

I was an endless room with one corner going for eternity.
