ABOUT ME
I like to be open for new things and opinions, always rember myselft that we're all people and we all want to be happy.
Communication is everything and you grow by sharing opinions.
In my childhood I played a lot of saxophone and I still like to think of me as a musician. Unfortunatelly I'm too angry and frustrated with myself when i play now, it just doesn't sound like before ;)
people (friends, family and travelers), books (beatrice and virgil, hunger games, the long walk ...), films (matrix, away we go, eastern promises), music (xavier rudd, pendulum, macklemore ...) and collecting (bags, boxes, media ;) ...) are my passion.
2010 / 2011 I traveled around the world, which was an amazing experience in both ways, good and bad, but mostly good :)
my destinations were USA, Canada, New Zealand, Fidji, Australia, Thailand, Australia (again) :) and at the big finale: Singapore. On this trip I learned a lot about me and my true wishes and met so many fascinating people which will remain in my heart forever. Thx to everyone who shared a bit of the path with me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
a spontaneous hiking trip to waterfalls in Costa Rica with some people I've met there. they had known a very good place where not every tourist is. it was awesome - we climbed through the forest barefooted and with nothing else.
