CURRENT MISSION

create new grimaces

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing, mostly happy and a little extrovert.

I am a funny guy, but can also take things serious. I can be spontaneous but can make plans as well.
I like indie, electro, blues, singer-songwriter-music and other types of music but don't have to listen to it all time and ain't a modern hippie wearing headphones outdoors.
I do sports and like to be active rather than stay at home but need to take breaks. I like to discuss different issues, I am interested in new things and mostly enjoying get to know other people.

I like dialects and I'm able to speak some german versions ;-) I like to laugh and share those moments with other people.

At the moment I'm finishing my bachelor in civil engineering (buildings and stuff). I have not decided yet what to do after that except having a holiday and continue working. Currently I work in an engineering company and a research group (climate change adaptation).

I really enjoy hitchhiking since 2007. I'd like to time-out from busy studying and working for a while and start to travel around.
I did Erasmus in Stockholm and since then I am in love with the country, the people and the language.
I care about the environment, I am interested in gardening, building and repairing, cooking and baking, and so on. I am a really googd chef, cooking is big passion.

I don't have to fight, I am mostly easy-going, and like people who relaxed as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2007 I hitchhiked from Lisbon to my former home town close to Kassel (GER) in 62h with twenty different cars and people.

Some experiences: Hui, mid-age portuguese trucker, nice 8h ride from Estremadura to Madrid / Ekine, basque girl who picked me up close to Madrid, took me to the supermarket, cooked fish and stuff and watched the simpson in spanish with me / spanish-french border: personal search by spanish police / camper ride from Vittel to Basel through the Vosges...
