About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel new countries, dive deep into their culture, their arts and music scene, discover what awesome things the place and people have to offer and connect cultures!

ABOUT ME

I love cozy kitchens that feel like living rooms. I love long red wine evenings in exactly those kitchens. I love dancing the night away. I love all sports in, around, under and above the water. What I love the most is traveling. The country I fell in love with the most is India. One of the things I miss when I leave German is bread. A good, heavy, warm crusty bread. And - the most of course - my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

This song has it all, my philospy

Bonobo - Blossoms of days to come

Move away from your western guns
Travel towards eastern suns
Far above all earthly goals
A pledge for creation's soul
Spirit finds fresh morning and the dew
Of precious things
Hope is a phoenix building wings to fly
And what we wish shall be
Like a breathe of fresh air
Safe and secret powers
That no love can spare
