ABOUT ME

SKATER.

Well, what to say: I am a crazy, strange, emotional, happy, philosophical Joker. Mostly easy-going! ^^

I don't need much and have everything I need usually already in my bag with me.
I am happy, when the sun is shining, I have a nice conversation and enough food ^^.
I am never bored! Say-Do Person. Often seen as freak.

I try to do my best. Not everyday, but everytime! (because we have good days and bad days). I rather recharge on one day, to enjoy the next one at the fullest amount of energy and capacity.

I do everything in my life dancing and singing.
I like some poetry.
I like many things. Everything is somehow connected!
I like to get fascinated by other people as well.

I try to learn a lot about sciences and psychology, sociology. Many things studied by myself, while traveling.

Free Mind and Soul.
Talking a lot, sometimes :P

Don't like the cold.

Laughing, joking, singing a lot.
Childish, with "off-switch".

Well, for more pictures just watch my facebook-profile:

Heritage: BEWARE! NOT the TYPICAL BEER-DRINKING, SOCCER-LOVING German!
In my heart I am a French-Korean Mixture!

I prefer wine to beer. I prefer love and passion to rules and strictness ...

GOOD and BAD, Up and DOWN are indistinct in the space of the universe ... and that applies for many things on earth as well.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't try, you have already lost.

Live and let live.

There is ALWAYS a way !

No hurries, no worries.
