CURRENT MISSION

to see the world with a smile on my face...

ABOUT ME

I´m working as a teacher with juveniles with behavioral disorders.
I absolutely love my job and working with these kids. However, they drain a lot of my energy, too.
I try to regain my energy by being outside a lot. I love being by the sea - one of passions is kitesurfing. Being exposed to the elements is simply awesome.
I just enjoy everything that's gotta do with water: Swimming, rowing, beach bumming - life is better at the beach.

My friends call me crazy and restless - you have to decide if that´s in a positive way!
Let me tell you so far, I am seldomly bored - I´m always working against it!! ;)

To me, travelling is the perfect way to combine all my passions. Wandering without being lost, meeting new people, new attitudes, new places, new insights. The world is too wide to not spread your wings!

PHILOSOPHY

~If you can´t dazzle them with your brilliance, you can battle them with your bullshit.~

~Life... is like a grapefruit. It's orange and squishy, and has a few pips in it, and some folks have half a one for breakfast.~ Douglas Adams

Music, Movies, and Books

Somehow my favourite bands haven't changed dramatically from 10 years ago. Dunno if I find that scary or not. I still really like listening to Interpol, The Kills, Bush, Editiors, Kasabian, The Bravery, John Butler Trio, Foo Fighters, Oasis, Beatsteaks, Bloc Party, Powderfinger, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Deichkind, Xavier Rudd, Crash Test Dummies, Morcheeba... Just a small selection!
Movies and books are fine as well, but I can´t be bothered to list them now.
At the moment I´m reading "Porno" by Irvine Welsh - just to give you an insight.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

WHOLE LIFE IS AMAZING!!

I always find it lame to brag about all the amazing things that one has done. However, kitesurfing is just the bestest sports I've ever done. Scares me shitless on the one hand and gives me the biggest smile on my face one the other.
