CURRENT MISSION

To live. To discover. To dream. To be creative. To understand.

ABOUT ME

Born in eastern GDR, grown up in a reunified Germany,
working, traveling and discovering the world since I am able to do so.

I love to learn and explore by listening, discussing, seeing with my own eyes and using my hands and senses, being open, respectful and trying to assist and to support where I think it's right and needed.

PHILOSOPHY

L'impossible est possible pour ceux y croient!

On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux...
