CURRENT MISSION

See and learn EVERYTHING! I especially want to become more familiar with the people, language, and culture of Germany (my birthplace).

ABOUT ME

My name is Mikiech (pronounced like: Meek-ish), and I was born in Frankfurt, Germany. I was raised in America by my american mother, and finally met my father in Germany in 2009, while traveling throughout Europe. I'm friendly, have a positive attitude, and absolutely love meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures as I travel. I'm a lover of all types of art, especially film and music. I'm an independent filmmaker myself, and also have a rock-band called "The Screaming Multitudes". In previous travels, I've met so many great people that I still keep in touch with to this day. I'm very anxious to see who and what my future travels hold in store for me!

PHILOSOPHY

Find happiness, and help bring it to others.

Interests

Filmmaking is my biggest passion. I also love to draw, and write music. I currently have a rock band with 2 of my best friends called The Screaming Multitudes (www.thescreamingmultitudes.bandcamp.com). I watch a lot of movies as well-- a lot of weird ones. I love trying new things, whether it be a new activity or a new type of food (I LOVE eating new foods!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finally met my father in Germany in 2009, and until then I had never even seen a picture of him or knew what he looked like. We only got to spend a few hours together, but it was definitely one of the most amazing moments of my life.
