CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Hej guys,
My name is Karsten and I just moved from the North to the South in Germany. I live now in Bayreuth (Bavaria) for studying ''Philosophy and Economics''.
Travelling is one of my passions. My first big foreign experience - staying on a traditional sailing ship for 7 month and crossing the atlantic ocean for 24 days - addicted me to travelling. So far I've been to Russia to take part in the Global Youth Institute for one month, travelled and worked in New Zealand for 4 month, participated in a exchange program in the States for one month and I had lots of short trips through Europe.
I always look ahead for the next big journey: Probably, it's Africa for visiting my bigger sister and I also look forward to graduate one of mine studying semesters in a foreign country.

PHILOSOPHY

"really" travelling is to get to know the life of the people
