About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling from Panama to Cancun through all of Central America, without getting lost...

ABOUT ME

I took an unusual way by working for 2 years in a hospital before I started my study in 2006. This gave me the chance to gather quite much practical experience in this subject and fall in love with it. I'm enjoying the luxury of not regretting my decision for a second and looking forward to work as a Doctor. Only problem: I'm a big fan of making spontaneous short-trips (among other trips) which will probably get in conflict with this job. That's why I'm trying to spend most of my free time during my study with visiting other countries, learn from the different cultures and people to broaden my horizon.
If you wanna learn more: Come in, and find out!

PHILOSOPHY

The common mayfly has a life expectancy of just 1 day. But is he miserable about it?....Not one bit! He fills his day with the things he loves...he soars...he sweeps....he savors every moment. Maybe theres a lesson in this for us longer-living creatures. Just think...if we embrace live like the mayfly..what a life would that be?

I admit, this is the text of a Vodafone-Ad..but its describing pretty exactly whats going on in my head when I'm due to make an important decision.
