About Me

CURRENT MISSION

working, studying, traveling & spreading peace on earth

ABOUT ME

Laurens is born in Berlin, social active in many communities, interested in nearly all things, tolerant, open-minded, vegetarian... blablabla... he spend four years in a small circus, worked as an journalist and with awesome kids in New Zealand, and writes long sentences. In the last years he had become a social worker and now he is studying psychosocial counselling and law in Frankfurt while working in youth welfare.
Laurens likes to talk with people and to understand their point of views. What moves them to do what they do, and to be what they are?... Discovering new point of views is for him, like discovering a new world.
He loves singing, cooking, sports and sometimes he's getting a little bit crazy :)
Please ask him for more details or read his references.

It's difficult to describe yourself. You'll never observe yourself from a neutral point.
The best way get to know me is to meet me, and to create your own picture ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Make every day a little gift too the world,
And the world will give you back hapiness.

There is no way to hapiness,
Hapiness is the way!

------------------------------------------------------

Try to love all,
And they will try to love you.

------------------------------------------------------

Frontiers existing only on maps and in your head.

------------------------------------------------------

A world without dreams is

a world without hope.

A world without hope is

a world without love.

A world without love is

a world without peace.

Dream for hope,
hope for love,
love for peace

And peace will never die.

------------------------------------------------------

last but not least:
keep smiling :)
