Overview
About Me
I dropped out of school when i was 15. Luckily I’ve already signed a contract for an apprenticeship (4 years), which I managed to finish:) Im an educated truck mechanic, however working mostly on cars. I refused military service and went instead to Canada, where I lived and worked for 21 months. This time was very important for me getting closer to myself, to start some really deep friendships and to learn what or who is important in my home/life Last year, l caught up my Highschool graduation (fachabi), yet not knowing for what... environmental engineering (focus organic farming) is at the top of my list of subjects that I am interested in. After all, I got to admit that I don’t like institutions! For that im traveling:) In summertime i work occasionally at festivals In wintertime I teach ski/snowboard And in between i fix and maintain a few vehicles (family&friends) Recently i started to give extra lessons in nat. Sciences and english Thats how i get thru I don’t have a car I got a public transport ticket, two bikes and two healthy legs I try to be gentle and considerate with the environment.
