About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy life, learn, contribute and share it

ABOUT ME

Hole childhood in Kiel, but already travelling around a lot with the family, my first travel by myself was whit 13 to Maine/USA, continued to Brest/France with 15 and because the family I stayed with again with 16.

With 17 I went to Singapore for the UnitedWorld College, from I visited Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

I then studied music in Holland, in that time I went to Mexico as a far travel. In 2010 i had the stroke, it was 3 weeks after my bachelor of percussion.

2012 going to Russia - Kaliningrad. Awesome region =)

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy life, contribute and share it!!!
Don't worry, be happy ;)
Life is short and you don't know when it ends, so start to live it now.
So if you get the possibility and you are not sure about what it will bring, you usually should do it.
The worst that could happen is you making a mistakes; and mistakes are the best way to learn =P
Live consists of single moments. So enjoy them and don't let them get eaten by the daily routine!
