CURRENT MISSION

Adding more realistic photos of me;)

ABOUT ME

I am a mixture of daydreamer and adventurer. Besides my family, the things I love most are: The outdoors and nature, music (in all forms; listening, performing, silence...) and arts (streetart and fotography in particular). I like to understand and learn about people and their stories, their culture and their visions of life.

I like to think that I am special, but I am aware I am not. I have the same fears and wishes as most people. I struggle with discipline like anyone else (this is the reason I carry around a couple of etra kilos - as it says in my profile I need some more realistic pictures xD - I don't like people sending me invitations just because they think I am pretty. I don't care about my "look" a lot (Side effect of growing up with three brothers)) I am scared just like anyone of the unknown- but I like being scared, I like the smell of the unknown and I appreciate being out of my comfort zone as it gives me a chance to get to know me better and it makes me stronger.

I am far from perfect, but I try every day to be a bit better than yesterday.

PHILOSOPHY

Celebrate life! Learn as much as you can, and never forget: Life isn't about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

The list of books is very long ( The best ones however are those that excel in all of the following three criteria: language, style and plot: eg. To kill a mockingbird, lord of the flies, kite runner, a thousand splendid suns, shadow of the wind...

Movies (are great for learning a new language ;)), I like: freedom writers, saving private ryan, the patriot etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where to start? galopping through the lonely patagonian pampa, walking barfooted through the forest during thunderstorms, guitar sessions at various places at night and planning things like a walk from Germany to Turkey on foot (starting the coming April) make me feel very alive and confirm my believe that we need to embrace and celebrate the life we've been given, in whatever way we can.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to exchange experiences and thoughts.
