I am Visiting Graduate Researcher at UCLA from Germany looking for open-minded people in LA.
I am in for sports (hiking, surfing, bouldering/climbing, swimming, gym, running, ...), outdoor adventures, exploring LA & California (museums, pubs, national parks), concerts (Jazz, Metal, Indie Rock, ...), theatre, museum, or just a chat over lunch or a beer.
Mindfulness and Meditation have priority in my life – if you are not at peace with yourself, then you cannot be at peace with others.
Wherever I go, I go with my heart.
"The straightforward and good person should be like a smelly goat – you know when they are in the room with you.” – Marc Aurel
