Hello! I’m Basti, an open-minded individual with a zest for life and an insatiable curiosity. I thrive on exploring new horizons and embracing the diverse experiences that life offers.

Background and Interests

• Physics Student: My academic journey in physics began with an enriching Erasmus year in Santander, Spain, during my undergraduate studies. Post my bachelor’s degree, I took a three-month sojourn in Argentina, immersing myself in its vibrant culture.
• Master’s Degree: I then moved to Freiburg for my master’s degree in physics. Following my graduation, I embarked on a three-month adventure across South America, traversing Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, each country adding a new layer to my understanding of the world.
• Early Adventures: My love for exploring started early. I spent a year in the USA as an exchange student, living on a 200-hectare farm, engaging in sports like cross country, swimming, and track & field, and even being crowned prom king! This experience was truly a blast.
• Volunteering: After high school, I dedicated six months in Togo, West Africa, working with street kids who lacked opportunities to break free from poverty. This intense experience profoundly shaped my worldview.

Philosophy

I believe in living fully, embracing challenges, and continually growing through every experience. My journey has been a blend of academia, adventure, and altruism, each step enriching my life in unforeseen ways.

It doesnt matter how hard you can hit it is about how hard you can get hit and still keep fighting!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I love to share culture and values. I've been to the US and to West Africa and find it kind of interesting to see how different life can be. I love to talk about science, life, politics and a lot more! If you happen to have a piano we could share some tunes as well!

And maybe something about astronomy and physics ;)
