About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Building an empire from scratch

ABOUT ME

What am I? All in or nothing. Live the moment and make the best of it. I am exploring the world; earlier through 1,5 years of backpacking, now through university books. Always hungry for a new experience and some inspiration to learn from. Right now I am studying economics in Zurich, experimenting with all sorts of hobbies and hustling through student life . Hopefully we will meet someday and exchange our experiences while having a good laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

,,You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind.''
