CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out this Couchsurfing thing

ABOUT ME

I dislike self-praise... I tend to be quiet, calm and content, but I can be sportive and prankish, too.

I like very spicy food. I haven't been able to find something that is too hot to eat yet - still trying.

PHILOSOPHY

„How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.“

- George Washington Carver

„Wie weit Du im Leben kommst, wird davon abhängig sein, wie weit Du zärtlich mit den Kleinen umgegangen bist, mitfühlend mit den Alten, Anteil nehmend mit denen, die sich anstrengen und geduldig mit den Schwachen und den Starken. Denn eines Tages wirst Du dies alles gewesen sein.“

- George Washington Carver

Music, Movies, and Books

I didn't take the time anymore for reading that much lately, which I regret a lot - recently I've been showing interest in non-work-related things again, too.

From the top of the head, some of my favorite...

... movies: Gattaca, The Jacket, Das Experiment, Bang Boom Bang, as well as Korean and vintage Japanese movies

... TV series: Coupling, Big Bang Theory, The Daily Show

... books: Greek mythology, Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, V for Vendetta

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: India. I didn't really consider that I haven't seen enough of the world yet until I traveled there. Big mistake.

Done: Water Rescue at the Baltic Sea on an inflatable boat.

Teach, Learn, Share

A lot of my skills are self-taught or from observation of others. I try to help other people with my skills.
