About Me

CURRENT MISSION
live n study in Hamburg and get used to being settled again after some years of travelling. (see below for previous mission...)

see this country, get down to earth,
make some dosh, ...
learn to play guitar,
learn anything...

ABOUT ME
I am in love with wind and water that carry me around. I like to spend time on remote Islands and get overwhelmed by big city life, looking for intense experiences, many times created by the contrasts in our world.

I love my freedom,
Im a wood worker, traveler and sailor at the moment, and always will be but maybe other things too. After five years on the road however I still feel strongly connected to my friends and family and Im out here because I know they will always be there and I can still meet more awesome people.

PHILOSOPHY

life is good
life is now and here

...and why not!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

its the contrasts on our lovely planet that always get me. poor/rich, greedy/generous, stupid/smart...

Experiencing how travels seem to be guided by some beautiful, omnipresent force. (I am not religous)
going with the flow

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach woodworks and some sailing related stuff

Jack of all trades... and master of none

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can cook together, have a glass of wine or a cuppa tea while we discuss how to make the world a better place or indulge in dull jokes?
It depends what our common interests are.
