About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Give every day the chance of becoming the best day in your life.

ABOUT ME

I have a positive attitude towards life, consider myself being an open minded person who is interested in other cultures and who respects and admires nature and all animals. I love spending time with people who think in a similar way, I like to share experiences and I am keen on listening to peoples stories. I am adventurous and like to try out new things. I believe in love and in the good spirit in every human being.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a saying in German which translates more or less as follows:
The one who always goes with the head pointing down, doesn't see the horizon! (Wer den Kopf stets senkt, erkennt keinen Horizont!)

Live and let live! (Leben und leben lassen!)
