When you nearly get hit by a car and your heart pumps and you look back at your friend, clutching at your breathless chest, and tell them "I nearly died today", that feeling.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I could make a monotonous list of all the books I love, but let's put it this way, reading the works of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche as a teenager changed the way I view life.
I read books of every genre and every type, as long as the writing unfolds itself and the pages turn quicker than my eyes, I will enjoy it.

I am interested in a lot of different kind of music, depends on my mood, depends on the atmosphere. I'll blast Nirvana on a hung-over Sunday morning or I'll listen to a piece by Bach with my eyes shut as I'm wandering aimlessly at midnight.
I also play guitar, drums and piano.

My favorite films are The Seven Samurai, Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind, Annie Hall and Donnie Darko.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Took a deep breath and laughed at the notion that I will be dying someday, instead of evading it.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

On the technical side, I can help with all levels of English.

Otherwise, I believe the only thing I am actually good at is helping people figure out their shit. And I love that.
