About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my time

ABOUT ME

I lived in Freiburg for a few years. After finishing my studies in forestry I kind of lived everywhere a bit. I wanted to try the life in a Van, but ended up in Vienna. I came here to finish my Masters degree in Wildlife ecology and management.
Otherwise is traveling my big passion and I love to be in nature and to be free. I think I'm and everyone else is able to do whatever they want. So I like to try and experience new things and to walk new ways.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is only real when shared - McCandless

"Time" somehow. I think it has the biggest value in life. What is more important than spending time with people you like and love?

Interests

discover and try new things to gain experience.
I like photography, climbing, hiking, camping and traveling, cooking, eating fruits & vegetables, observe the nature and animals and many other things.
I'd like to create a self sustainable life, so I'm also quite interested in gardening, how to produce my own creams and soaps. But I also like dumpster diving, even if I'm dependent on the wasteful life of the society with this. But its kind of a good thing when you have to live in a city.
Now with my Van it would be also good to gather some knowledge about mechanis.
A few years ago I visited some Rainbow Gatherings and got a bit in touch with spirituality. One thing that flashed me are lucid dreams and what our mind could accomplish.
