Overview
About Me
Studying IT & Intellectual Property Law (and currently living) in Hannover, working as a MPs parliamentary consultant in the state parliament (Landtag) of Northrhine-Westfalia in Düsseldorf, furthermore being based in Berlin & Mannheim, I spend my time travelling all through Europe.
I identify myself as a internet citizen, european (federalist), left-liberal, queer (pan/greysexual), demi-romantic & geek.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hadn't slept for two days being busy working for parliament as a good friend of mine called since she was going through a difficult break up that day; some minutes and a bunch of coffee in one go later I took the next train immediately (the train ride took five hours) heading towards Mannheim just to help her going through all of that. But that is what friends are for I guess.
Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my free time, so if you need someone to go to cool jazzy/LGBTIQ* clubs or theaters with, want to hang around a bit or trying to catch all these Pokémon with me. We can geek out about series, fandoms, politics or just about the internet and all of the possibilities of digitalization.
