About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To found my own city, name myself mayor for life and dot it with statues dedicated to its founding father.

ABOUT ME
Hi! I live in Michigan at the moment. I've worked or studied in Denmark, Austria, Ukraine, Cambodia, Bali, Jordan and the US. I oscillate between work and study+travel. Love meeting cool people from everywhere!

PHILOSOPHY
Man is at the same time the best and worst of all creatures, and definitely the most fascinating. Explore all the facets and possibilities of life. Traversing the world in the elusive search for the perfect life and deeper hidden meaning:)
