About Me
CURRENT MISSION
trying to find out, how and why people do what they do and what they create while doing it
ABOUT ME
I studied archeology and art history, so my main interests are things to look and think about. Beside this I like cooking, I really like "doing pop culture", like listening to music, going to the movies, reading and so on. This sounds really general, but hey, it is really general. I am interested in a lot of different things.
I have a girlfriend, Hanne, I spend a lot of time with her, that is we're living together, which means all requests would have to be approved by her.
My second biggest hobby after pop culture would be cooking and eating I think. We're doing that alot, always trying out new recipies and ingrediences. We're both vegetarians, so we have to create a lot of new recipies, which is the most fun part! (everbody shoud try Hannes Cashew-cheese-saues!)
PHILOSOPHY
I used to be kind of a buddhist when I was about 16, I still want to apply to these principles, but it's difficult. So, in the end I just try to get most out of life.
