About Me

I stumble through life with curiosity, willingness to learn and positive energy, opening doors to unknown worlds and universes.
I am a calm person who after some moments of mistrust can be very easy going and open for almost everything. Thus I like to do stuff and create stories…

Apart from studying medicine I am volunteering as an ambulance driver which is not only helping me with my studies, but also gives me impressive insights in the lives of (mostly old) people and I can hep those who really need it. Already I experienced quite some weird things, which put together some rather interesting stories.

Interests

I really like doing sports, right now predominantly ultimate frisbee swimming. But I am open to everything and would love to try new things.
Since I am 6 years old, I play the cello (a giant violin between your legs played while sitting) and music (and dancing) is an important part of my life.
I can easily interest myself for many things that's why like museums as they give a small glimpse in unknown territory.
Right now I also do quite a lot of photography as I discovered an old Minolta analogue camera of my grandfather. I also do some large format photography and develop B/W films myself in a laboratory.
Recently I got into paragliding and I am busy with getting my own proper license. It's absolutely breathtaking, sometimes scary but incredibly fun to glide silently through the mountains and when I have the time I want to do it way more often.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played Violoncello at the Musikverein Wien as part of an Orchester which was quite an amazing experience.
I went paragliding with my 76 years old grannie and we had lot's of fun. And now I'm working on getting my own paragliding license.
I was part of No Pants Subway Ride 2015 and my butt was on television.
I jumped off an insanely high cliff into the most beautiful yellow (there was so much pollen in the water) Swedish lake somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
.. and once, I involuntarily kidnapped a dog. (But no animals were harmed)

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you to throw a boomerang and make it come back. I work as a tutor for anatomy at my university, so I might be able to assist in any anatomy related questions.
I know how to develop analoge film (it's easier than you might think) and as I have been playing the cello for quite some time, I could probably teach you something music related.
