About Me

ABOUT ME

Oh, a shortcut of myself - not so easy...
I like to travel and move a lot. I like to meet friends and have some experiences with people and cultures in other countries. So, I'm definitely not a couchpotato.
I love animals of every kind, nature, humans and lots of activities with them. But I'm not very interested in computer and TV. Ahhh, and I'm a little workaholic...

PHILOSOPHY

häufig versuchen menschen ihr leben verkehrtherum zu leben: sie bemühen sich darum, mehr dinge oder mehr geld zu bekommen, um mehr das tun zu können, was sie wollen und glücklicher zu sein.
doch das funktioniert in wirklichkeit andersherum!
zunächst muss man der sein, der man ist, und dann das tun, was man will, um zu bekommen, was man sich wünscht.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on a beautiful horseback riding tour in Iceland and saw the polar lights - then I understood, why icelandic people believe in gnomes and magic...
I had to walk trough a little river which had swollen because of the flood and saw some people waving at me... I thought they just wanted to say hi, but when I got there they showed me a huge crocodile just 10 meters from where I crossed the river...
