About Me

*you see it on my respond rate;i'm not very active here,sorry*

CURRENT MISSION

saving the world :)

ABOUT ME

flexible, humorous, positive thinking person; enjoying life and- some day- improving the world- I don't know how but should have some patience

One of my biggest problem is that im intersted in almost everything- I'm enthusiastic learning new things- but when i'm bored of something I can break down things very fast. I study chemistry and try to hide this behind normal interest like climbing, handball or just hanging around with "normal" people. I like beeing outsinde - on the beach, in the mountains and waterfalls are the best thing the nature invented.

I love cooking, so if we're surfing together we can cook something.

PHILOSOPHY

"Let it be"

Humanism, Hermann Hesse, Buddhism
