About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to get a clear vison of the future of our planet

ABOUT ME

I like the sound of raindrops when i'm laying on a bed, walking barefoot in a moosy woods, thunderstorms in summer, guitar cords around a bonfire, sunsets over the sea, drinking raindrops on leaves, getting a smile from a stranger, ordering food I've never herd of, the sounds of the rainforest, waking up far away from home and SALMON ;)

My life has been quite exciting. My job allows me to travel a lot. Whenever I have free time I'll be on the road. Travelling is my passion, the simpler the better; I love to hitchhike.

I take my life as it comes, worship life's complexities and I'm always ready for another adventure. I consider myself a citizen of the world and want to make the best out of this place during the time I'm here.

PHILOSOPHY

Finding friends from all around the world to learn and share

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really into science. The most fascinating thing for
me, are all the complex interactions of the lifeless molecules in our cells
which combine to living beings. I look at life from a very scientific perspective
and I would love to share my point of view with you. I believe we were born in an exceptional time, science and technology will irreversibly change humanity. If you love to think about the future I'm sure I could give you an interesting perspective from a science perspective. In short: biotech and AI will totally change us.
