Interests

I'm interested in a lot of the usual stuff, like music, books and films the most. I like to draw or write once in a while and I'm undertaking the long process of learning myself to play the guitar.
Besides that it's hard to tell one specific interest, since I'm an 'interested' person in general. Always eager to learn new things, to find new experiences. Interested in the unknown. I think that's also why I like travelling so much and why CS perfectly matches this image.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSICFestivals are one of the things I like most about music.In music you have the fixed values like Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, QOTSA, Beatles, Yeah yeah yeahs, Eddie Vedder, Manu chao, JJ Cale, Devendra Banhart,... and you have the geniuses of the moment like Alt-j, the xx, Nicolas Jaar, Local Natives, Two door cinema club, Junip, MO, Little Dragon, Bonobo, ...
And then there is of course everything in between.
MOVIESThe Dreamers, The Graduate, Drive, Looper, A bout de souffle, Into the wild, Fur, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Requiem of a dream, Harold and Maude, Mr. Nobody, Donnie Darko, Gadjo Dilo, Les amoures imaginaires, Oh brother where art thou, No one knows about persian cats, Pulp fiction, Control, and so on, and so on...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to and enjoying South-Africa, Bolivia, Granada, and much more.. I learned that the most amazing things to do or to see are not necessarily the furthest or the most exotic. Yet, seated on the top of San Miguel Alto in Granada, watching the dark silhouettes of the mountains outlined against the orangepinkish air made me feel as if I could take off and fly away into the everythingness behind these mountains. And I can tell you, that felt quite amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I feel too young to be able to teach, so for the moment I'm going through life in a Socratic position. Listening, contemplating and learning.
