My name is Manuel, but many people call me Manu.
Right now, I´m waiting to becaome a teacher as it always starts in January. So I´ve got pleanty of time to travel.
My addiction to travelling started some years ago when i moved to Canada and spend a year doing volunteering service. Still today I would call it the best year of my life. Afterwards I did my BA in international retail management, still trying to travel as much as possible. During my studies I spend half a year in Turkey doing Erasmus. When I finished my BA I made a small world trip for six month. And after my MA I travelled South America for 3 months. So my life is pretty much about travelling. But as it says: to travel means to live.
I´m also addicted to music, chewing gums and adrenalin. Seriously, I always got some chewing gums with me. So if you´re ever standing next to me don´t hesitate to ask ;)
I often want to keep the balance in life: when I eat a lot, I also have to do lots of sports.
And I´d call myself pretty spontanic. When I go to a city I often don´t have any plan or the plan can change quickly.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read catching thrillers, as well as specialist literature to all kind of topics.
And for movies...there are so many, I don´t even know where to start ;D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked up the Batur Vulcano on Bali in the middle of the night and watched the sunrise. That was one amazing view.
