CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Im an open minded, friendly and relaxed guy that like to smile and sing. I like to learn new things and have nice, open conversations about pretty much anything. It's hard to make me bored or offended so don't worry about it.

I study linguistics, history and music.

I love hitch hiking. As a way to travel and as a philosophy. To give and receive, to ask and be asked for help and allow yourself to be dependent on the kindness of people. Turning a long and sometimes boring drive into a random and direct encounter and an exciting experience. Even if people don't stop for you and just drive by, it's fun to make them smile and step out of their routine. It can really turn your day up.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to smile as much as I can. Some how it makes everything better.

I believe that empathy is very important and I always try seeing things from other prospectives and understand other points of view.

Interests

Music is my main interest in life.
I enjoy many different styles and genres and always happy to listen to new, exciting, weird music. I like music that makes me feel, and it doesn't really matter what those feelings are.

I love singing. Mostly to myself but together is also fun. If a song is stuck in my head (I love the german term Earworm) you will probably hear it.

I love the desert!

I really like hiking. Walk a long distance and jump into the water at the end of the trail, or finding my way with the map. It's very satisfying.

-Coffee
-Languages

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
