Sometimes I walk around with my arms folded behind my back. My grandpa did that and I feel it has the appearance of wisdom. No, it's actually a pretty comfortable posture. Ignorance is bliss.
I'm interested in sports, in particular football, which I played my entire life (that's probably why my knees started to hurt recently), kite surfing, which I want to improve, and surfing, which I'm not really good at while still enjoying it. I'm interested in politics and social entrepreneurship. I love being out in nature, for instance hiking, canoeing, kayaking, I like cooking with others, beers, books, parties with a more alternative flair and electronic music. When I arrive to a new place it doesn't take long until I can name you the best coffee spots.;) Apart from that, just shoot me a message and get to know me. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I definitely want to improve my Spanish. I'm fluent in German and English so that could be a trade-off.
I've just re-started playing the guitar and mixing electronic music.
I want to be out in nature and I'm up for almost everything in that regard.
I can be a good listener and there might be a suitable lyric that could trigger a smile.;)
