CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going guy who has been living in Berlin for a few years now and I still love the city. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the Berlin winter, so I have run away to Spain and am loving it here. I enjoy sport, art, beer, music, meeting new people and doing new things. I'm always up for an adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Generally very relaxed and open minded. I studied philosophy at Oxford and enjoy discussions about all kinds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked to Morocco for charity

Surfed a bakery cart without brakes down a windy road with cliffs on either side. Somehow survived.

Was mugged at knife point in Paris by 6 dodgy characters and again miraculously got away unscathed and with all my stuff.

Thanks to the name, I guess I had 9 lives. Maybe 5 left

Umm, i juggle (just), play drums, speak German, can twirl a stick and click my fingers really quickly (but not at the same time)... I've basically got it made! :S
