CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life by going to places I've not been before - and getting my studying done :D

ABOUT ME

I'm Jan, originally from the South-west of Germany. I live with my girlfriend in a quiet part of Munich. I've been playing the guitar many years and I'm interested in various kinds of music - rock, indie, electro, especially new kinds. As my field of study indicates, I'm learning a lot about media and communication by reading and attending classes about this subject, but I'm also making short films, podcasts and especially radio journalism. I used to host a radio show for my university every now and then ! Also sports are a big part of my life. Swimming, exercising and football (playing and watching) are maybe the three to mention first. Last but not least, I enjoy playing video games with friends. If you want to beat me in a game of Super Smash Brothers, come on over and challange me :)

PHILOSOPHY

Besides of trying to make the world a better place for the one's after us, I'm still searching. Maybe I'll have a flash of insight someday!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The fireworks over Aalen seen from a nearby mountain in the crystal clear night of the New Year's Eve 2009 - 2010. Woah.
PS: China!

Teach, Learn, Share

Okay then, I'll be learning!
