About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness is only real when shared

ABOUT ME

Not all about me, but the most important: I love life! Meeting different places and people always opens my mind and delivers insight in other peoples ways of life. And I think it´s in general the best way of learning and of becoming who we are. Right now I´m writing my thesis, finding out what people makes happy. My believe: love, tolerance, friends, good conversations, passion for what you´re doing and in what you believe, great work, being grateful and having a positive outlook on life. And never forget to see the world through a child´s eyes: be curious and play...

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing more enriching in life than meeting other people and learning from them.
Whatever you believe from deep within your heart will become reality...
NORMAL? What IS normal? Who says that the strange people, the people who think and behave different are not normal? I think we can learn more if we keep an eye on the things apart the very commom way of living and thinking. Life is as beautiful because of the variety of people and ways of creating life...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camping in the deep snow on a peak of the alpes. It was great, very cold, but really fantastic. I´ve seen a lot of nice places; most of them in nature. But I think there are endless beautiful places over the world and I hope to see at least some of them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn French and improve Spanish, do paragliding and surfing. And I want to learn yoga! I tried it once but I was too impatient. I have to work on that. What I can teach? Well, climbing, sailing, German, some philosophic basics and how to snowshoe on top of a mountain with wearing 25 kilogram on your back and walking into the dark.
