CURRENT MISSION

Finding my way of life in this beautiful freaked out world, learn as much as i can, enjoying the ride all the while

ABOUT ME

I'm generally an optimistic, openminded and spontanous person. I like beeing outdoors and interested in all the beautyful little details you'll find out there and what you can learn from it. I like meeting new people and getting to know new perspectives of the world around us.
I've been in love with and inspired by nature since I can think. Nevertheless, I've been working as an engineer, developping a semi-autonomous robot for two years. But finally I quit, went travelling and found so many beautiful and creative people and amazing places trying to relearn a respectful life on this extraordinary living planet we call home.

PHILOSOPHY

Most of the time I'm just happy to be alive and beeing a part of this overwhelming living ball of rock we call earth, and our home. I feel shame, pity, great sadness and sometimes rage when I see how our race treats our mother and each other. But I believe that more and more people are ready for a change and I have faith that, with creativity, respect and compassion, we will be able to invent new, sustainable ways of life beyond our current imagination and help create a world of beauty and love for our children.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Windsurfing in huge waves in Elandsbaii, Southafrica, celebrating the freedom of life in nature with rainbow brothers and sisters in the moroccan desert was just great, seeing wild chamois and capricorns on some off the path trip through the mountains in Switzerland or "Flying" on Bessie-Ellens bow-sprit with dolphins playing below me touches my soul. the sweet smell of a rose after weaking up, the warm hug of a friend, the wild emotions of leaving and reunion with loved ones makes me feel so alive... There's really no end to things that can be amazing, if you don't take them for granted

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy learning about other peoples ways of life, their hopes and dreams, and also sharing mine.
And I'm happy to learn anything about alternative, simple life, permaculture, edible plants, ecologic building etc.
I myself have some experience in simple building methods (mud & living trees), permaculture & conflict resolution. Furthermore I have an education in mechanic engineering an love inventing simple machines and mechanisms.
