About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To love life and enjoy as many moments as possible. Currently travelling with my life partner. We have left everything behind in Berlin (cancelled our apartment contract, sold my business etc etc) and are looking to enjoy life whilst simultaneously looking for the next opportunity work/create/start the next chapter in life. We have no home at the moment, and are starting to think about where the next place will be that we settle down. Currently we are travelling in Thailand, and not opposed to staying in this wonderful country, should the right opportunity arise ;)

ABOUT ME

Much of this profile was written 10 years ago, but I just realized that most of it is still relevant :)

I am a very social, passionate person. I love to entertain people and make people happy. I work in the hospitality industry, which is my passion. I am creative, and a real epicurean at heart, I love all of life's pleasures. I am easy to get along with and love people.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is impossible. Enjoy all of life's pleasures to the fullest!

Interests

My hobbies/passions include gastronomy and everything related, music, especially electronic music such as techno, and travelling. I also love contemporary art, which I collect. I love architecture, and can happily spend my time walking through cities appreciating the architecture and surroundings. Above all I love to cook and love to eat and drink, and share this great pleasure with others who appreciate it like me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many things!! I would have to say the mountains in Purmarca Argentina were an aweinspiring sight, and experiencing a native south american "inipi" or "temazcal" ritual was a powerful spiritual experience which I will never forget. Also, having my "underground" restaurant in Buenos Aires featured on the Travel Channel was pretty amazing!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing my knowledge about gastronomy and wines. I also love sharing my travelling experiences and hearing about others'.
