CURRENT MISSION

Finding new stories to tell about the world, rethinking for a common future. Education plays a huge part in this! Be an awesome dad :)

ABOUT ME

Be free, be crazy, be like a bird!
(Manu means bird in Rapa Nui and other Polynesian languages)

Moved here with my two ladies, my partner and our young daughter, so we can be closer to family. Building our little niche here.

Love to get to know people and their stories, share mine, trying to make the world a better place together.
Let's cook together - although I'm the maybe not by the book type.

Background in Environmental Sciences and you can count me in for outdoorsy adventures! I love to laugh and have good conversations, especially with some music at a camp fire.

Currently back in Germany after experiencing the diversity of our world all over and still continuing to do so - just with a Macro lens right now :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
