About Me

still need to find out who I am really am.
I love to travel! Well that's the reason I am on this page. I love good (non-electronic) music and enjoy any type of nice food/drinks.
I am easy going and interested in what's happening around me and in the world.
As a traveler I guess I'm not a complete backpacker (yet) but somewhere close to it. I love adventurous travels. Getting into contact with locals and having an informative city tour is much more important than laying at the beach ;) so I guess that will do it for a first try of this description. But don't worry I will try to be more active here and update this section soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

Basically I like a lot of movies, especially political ones such as documentaries or movies about history. But I can also enjoy an action or horror movie once in a while. I do not like science fiction :P

I like to read. But more for the purpose of information and not for pure fun. So I enjoy political books, books about history, language learning books and of course travel guides ;)
Also Kafka is great!
