About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning to live as though every day would be my last.

ABOUT ME

I love discovering and living the extremes. One day practicing meditation and acroyoga, the next driving my motorbike close to steep ledges. Most days though, I just live in the middle. Guess that's part of why the extremes appeal to me. I'm an adventurer, searching curiously, analyzing, interested in finding other perspectives of whatever comes in my way.

Most of my spare time I spend in the kitchen, discovering more and more of the vegan kitchen, but still love to cook a nice piece of meet. You see? - extremes again.

I love being gone, gone going – just being on my way, anywhere, not important where. It is one of few times for reflections, to relax and enjoy whatever is right there and then.

I try my best to challenge myself by questioning what I say and do. I do it to become more humble about life and my fellow humans. Also, I try to stay open. Question my opinions and values. Try to be aware of my prejudices, aware that that is what they are – prejudices, not truth.
Love, compassion and acceptance.

I live to discover, experience and experiment with life. I'd rather regret what I did than regret what I didn't do. I also love to chill out and enjoy a moment of silence. Love to take things as they come, enjoy the moment for what it is. The most simple things are often the best.

PHILOSOPHY

If a problem doesn't have a solution - why worry, since you'd be worrying in vain? Worry is only a misuse of imagination.
