ABOUT ME

Hey everybody,

my name is Oliver, I'm 27 and I'm currently studying Neuroscience as a PhD in Oxford.
I used to stick to Germany pretty much until I worked as a volunteer in Australia and India for one and a half years from 2007 on.
I met many great people along the way and during my travels and since then I'm always looking forward to meeting new people, particularly from different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

"Because we're grown-ups now and it's our turn to decide what that means."
http://xkcd.com/150/

Life is our chance given by the universe to explore and be witness to its infinite beauty.
