ABOUT ME

Well, I am a generally open minded, tolerant, curious, sometimes chaotic and often daydreaming person:) Oh, I get bored quite quickly. The only thing I have ever continued for more than just a few years has been my desire to play the piano...

PHILOSOPHY

"as many sunsets on a beach as possible"
"live every day as if it would be your last"
"If I could have a dream come true, then I would love to be as inventive as Keith Jarrett, have the touch of Bill Evans, the charisma of Chick Corea and the stamina of Ruben Gonzalez"

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

14 days and no shower through the Kimberleys, three days on a camel in Wadi Rum, the 2 hour car trip on Cuba which ended up to be 8 hours (no signs, no sense of direction, no language skills (derecha said by a woman is not the same as derecho uttered by a man;), taking various boats to finally get from Iquitos, Peru to Belém, Brazil, taking an involuntary detour in a taxi in Uzbekistan of 500km and finally my first and only jazz concert in Berlin:)

教，学，和分享
