About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to Surf and enjoy every day i've left in Australia

ABOUT ME

i grew up in a small town in the east of germany, studied in an even smaller village in austria and finally started working in the most beautiful city hamburg.

2011 i spend 9.5 months backpacking all around Australia plus Bali, Cambodia, Singapore and Loas - which was definitely a precious experience! :-)

Though i returned to Hamburg and started working again, luckily without any bed bug, the travel bug still got me. :-)
By now, i explore europe the best i can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove the Great Ocean Road, slept under a million stars at Uluru National Park, Sailed the Whitsunday Islands (and got seasick-which was not so amazing..), spotted a wild koala (and wombat and echidna), dived in the great barrier reef & met nemo, been on the indian pacific train from perth to adelaide, drove a moped in balinese traffic, strolled through angkor wat, learned to cook lao, rode an elephant, bathed in waterfalls, observed stunning barcelona from park güell, and met some very lovely people

Teach, Learn, Share

Still - i REALLY want to learn surfing. And i screwed it up, while i was
australia.. i still hope for my chance.. europe has nice beaches as well, right? :-)

hm i guess i can tell you everything about adobe. I'm home at the Photoshop for ages. I'm also quite familiar with Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere.

And i have decent experiences in computer science. So I could probably fix your computer as well. :-)
