CURRENT MISSION

Be modest and polite before I take over the world.

ABOUT ME

My name is Lutz and I'm 31 years old(atm). I grew up in a rather small town near Hamburg, Germany. I'm visiting other countries since I was a little lad. And I've been pretty much all around Europe.
When I was seventeen I spend a year in the US which changed my life. I met a ton of people and really connected with the idea of the world as one, I know it sounds cheesy. Now I try to see as much of the world as I can. While I'm working on that, I'm teaching English at a German Gymnasium.
Teaching and learning are the essentials of life and I want to do my part.

PHILOSOPHY
