I think of myself being very laid back usually, loving to just hang out with good people, having good food and a beer, and enjoy calm and smooth days.
On the other hand I can be pretty emotional, and when I'm in action-mode, I sometimes really like to party.
I like discussing politics, theatre, movies, food, culture and philosophical topics.
While I like to watch Soccer on TV and begin developing an interest in American Football, I myself am absolutely not the most sporting guy on earth to say the least; - but still I love the outdoors and definitely enjoy a (long) walk in the woods, and when it snows, you can count on me running outside instantly. I just love snow!

There are so many fascinating cultures and countries in this world I want to visit!
But my main interest lies in the United States! I have been there three times (2001, 2014 and 2015), and definitely want to return as soon as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

"I do not know what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
(Patrick Henry)
