ABOUT ME

hey, i´m shimling, 26, vegetarian and currently studying communication design in mannheim (20km from heidelberg), i can enjoy the silence and also like people who tell stories. i don´t like to be in the water (a bit scared...that doesn´t mean i can´t swim though)..uuh...and i used to run tracks – that´s not all about me, but at least something to start with...

PHILOSOPHY

– been here, done this...been there, done that...
