CURRENT MISSION

Finding possibilities to life outside of working 40hours/week

ABOUT ME

I'm reliable, curios, attentive, often reflective, sometimes simplistic and naive, skilled in handcraft and also very practically oriented. I've a dry humor which might be missunderstood by some people, occasionally i'm charming, sometimes but regularly ecstatic and overflowing with energy(Mostly during full moon). I'm mostly outgoing, cheeky and extroverted, only sometimes shy and contained a few days a month(mostly in winter). Guess if i continue mindstorming i could enlarge this list a lot, but i'm also lazy on some days so i'll stop right here.

PHILOSOPHY

There's a positive side in everything. There are no bad people, only bad experiences they had in their life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a 3400m high mountain(Habicht in Tirol) on one Weekend and rode 120km by bicycle in the floodplain at the austrian/slovakian border(March-Au) a week later, then partied till 7:00 in the morning as it was my birthday.

The Elevate Festival in Graz in 2007, fantastic DJs, fantastic Location(Dom im Berg) and ultimative Soundsetup. I still crave for the massive bass.
