About Me

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life,” - Viktor Frankl

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness
Get to know the world and myself.
Right now I am doing volunteer work in Maquinista Savio, Province Buenos Aires. The work helps me to get to know myself but also to understand others better. But as I am living in the house of the foundation it is difficult to host people.

ABOUT ME

I am easy-going, open-minded and really interested in meeting new people and discovering new places.
I like to do sports (Basketball, Fencing, Windsurfing, Football, American Football, Swimming, Running, Cycling, and much more), have some nice talks and discussions (about recent issues, about life or anything else).
I do a lot of hikes. I love mountains and nature.
I enjoy discussing about the big questions of life.. I started to investigate happiness.

PHILOSOPHY

You just live once. Be respectful, smile and don't have regrets.
I live to discover the world and myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I decided to completely take control of my life:
When I was ten years old things didn't go as they should. I was pushed out of the chosen way and had to find meaning and a destination. After some years of struggle I decided to take full responsibility for my life.
With this decision a lot of amazing things followed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you about chemistry, physics, philosophy, Europe and its politics, Munich and a lot more.
I worked on happiness and I love to discuss.
But futhermore I can tell you about experiences I've made,thoughts and ideas I've got.
I would love to learn about your culture, your point of view of things and share a good meal, a good talk or hike.
