ABOUT ME

-Really Short Version
:) Woooohooooo!!!!!!

-Short Version
Taking up every opportunity, hugging trees, playing music and not knowing what new story will emerge from my life tomorrow. I love sports, love being outdoors, and get excited by new and quirky things.

-Long Version
I live in Switzerland where I study a masters in Energy Engineering, in a hope to help solve our current energy problems with sweet technology. But I'm still working on that..

I also have a big passion for international aid and development. So if you have the same interest write to me!!!!! I would love to talk to see alternative view points on this matter as it is one hell of a problem to solve.

Off course, on top of all this I want to live my life to be as happy as I can be! Which off course involves a lot of traveling and meeting wicked people!!! The New Zealander inside me wants to just live outdoors, I could just hike, surf, climb, snowboard, sail, travel, swim, run and eat all my life and be super happy. But then I feel that life has a little more purpose than that :)

PHILOSOPHY

Am I having a fantastic life? - Yes
Are my friends and family having a fantastic life? - Yes
Do all people in other countries have a fantastic life? - Work in progress...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Was out sailing in the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand, and on our third day at sea we came across a pod of about 150 dolphins. We quickly got our wetsuits on, jumped in the water and played with the dolphins for about an hour. We then tied a rope to the yacht and got dragged through the water while the dolphins came and swam alongside us. So beautiful

Lehren, lernen, teilen

If you come to my place in New Zealand we can go snowboarding during the winter. If you like music then bring your instruments and we can have a little jam or I could possibly teach you something new.
