About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit Europe, meeting its people and learning languages (german right now, japanese later)

ABOUT ME

Just a 23 year old metal-head, studying computer science and wanting to meet and drink a good cup of coffe or tankard of ale with people from around the world. I'm really interested in traveling along Europe, specially seeing its historical places, learning those fascinating languages and meeting its sons and daughters!
I love music, history, religions (I find heathenism specially fascinating!), classical literature and a lot more, but you should check my interests, cause I don't wanna write it all twice ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Get up and try again whenever you're beaten.
Embrace your own ideals and live by them, but don't try to force them on others.

Interests

Well, I like music first and foremost. My favourite style is Metal, may it be heavy, power, black, folk, heathen, thuringian, you name it! Not that much into death metal, though. I also enjoy A LOT classical music. I love Wagner, Bach, Beethoven, Paganini, and so. I really enjoy 80's music too!

Besides music, one of my all time favourites is Saint Seiya, anime series from the 80's. Not that much into anime, but still love that one! Die-hard fan, indeed.

Last but not least, I really love History, language learning and classical literature, and that means lots and lots of reading and taking courses whenever my real profession allows it (computer science), etc. My favourite historical characters are Attila the Hun, Julian the Apostate and the not-so-historicals Hector of Troy and Siegfried of Xanten.
