I'm very open-minded and interested in a lot of topics (which I love to have a chat about). However I'm on track with Karl Popper: "No tolerance for intolerance".

important issues I fully support:

-sustainability, ecological behavior, zero waste, vegetarian and vegan living
-feminism and gender equality
-ways to fight nationalist, patriotic and right-wing populist and extremist tendencies in our society
-animal rights, ways to fight mass animal husbandry
-civil sea rescue

I'm skeptical about, but interested in discussing:

-religious practices
-capitalism and "self-regulating" markets

Besides that I'm interested in a lot of other things:

-all kinds of sports, play badminton, tennis, do running and cycling. love to watch almost every sport (except motor sports)

-Huge passion for gaming, I love playing Euro style boardgames, classic card games and can talk infinitely about Magic:the Gathering if need be :)

-I have a crush for Scandinavia and Iceland ( and Finland to a lesser degree). I love nature and winter. Stave Churches are awesome!

-I'm a music junkie: Interested in a lot of different styles of music (some of my favorite artists below)
