About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be the best you can be, see as much as you can see

ABOUT ME

Easy going, easy to talk to, always up for a laugh, always up for wacky, silly stuff.

Working a desk job which I love, although my true passion is travelling and experiencing the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live fast and intense, travel while you are young so you can reap in the benefits from your travels while you grow older - getting around meeting different people has shaped me quite considerably in a young age.

Interests

Hiking, climbing, generally any form of outdoor activities. Reading, learning, chess, movies etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love the movie "Into the Wild", Last King of Scotland, love authentic music (i.e. real instruments being used, played in a band myself for quite some time).

Read a lot (past tense) but don't find the mindset for it no more - it's a fast world we live in...Past favourites include Terry Pratchett, Orwell, Kundera etc.

Generally I have a very broad cultural interest.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's all about experiencing things that have a sustainable impact on you in my opinion. So far my most memorable travelling experiences were:

Camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains and sharing "moonshine" with some real rednecks while they played bluegrass music, paragliding over Key West with dolphins jumping out of the water left and right, taking a helicopter ride over Cape Canaveral, stealing a flag from the welsh army tank firing range, playing football with local kids in Vietnam, drinking too much Palinka in Budapest and almost throwing up, drinking too many "crazy dogs" in Krakow and almost throwing up (can you spot the pattern?), meeting some strange people sneaking around with poolnoddles pretending to be a giant insect in North Wales while camping, having a crazy tomato fight in Spain (Tomatina), being gobsmacked by heavy metal being played through the PA on a public bus in Helsinki, starting a Koettbullar (meatball) fight in Lund... hopefully to be continued!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach/share: Entrepreneurship, commercial skills, finance, setting up a business etc., the german language obviously.

I want to learn: All about different cultures, different lifestyles etc
