CURRENT MISSION

Collecting stories.

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and getting lost in an unknown place. I enjoy meeting nice people and a good conversation. With some time on my hands and nobody around I like to sit down and write. I like a good story, so I'm looking forward to hear stories from the people I meet and hope that I have something nice to share as well.
I'm studying environmental sciences and spend quite some time working in an NGO supporting communities in the Ecuadorian mangrove forests. I guess I somehow try to make the world a better place – let's see how that'll work out.
The rest is enjoying life as it is!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't think there's a deeper purpose of life – but what we can do is to give life meaning. And looking for and finding that is what makes our stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess most things I can teach a little are also those where I'd like to learn more from other, this includes playing the guitar, dancing, writing, meditation, languages.
I like to cook (preferably vegetarian), so if you're up to it, we can prepare sth. together and maybe invent something new.
