About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work, sport, travel and relax

ABOUT ME

I'm a easy going guy, who like's traveling. Meeting people and relax with them. At the moment i'm studying in the last year for my Master in product design. My study takes a lot of time so sometimes it's hard for me to respond to your request. I hope that i will be finished within a year and start to travel for year or so.

PHILOSOPHY

Help, inspire, relax and make a difference in the world. I think it's very important to respect everybody’s own belief, philosophy and thoughts. It's all about respect and friendship. I think i'm open minded, easy going guy. I belief in a God, a creator and Bible philosophy. As a product designer sustainability is for me a main subject. Nature and social subject are important to me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling through the mountains of morocco for 5 days. There were no cars, roads, shops, neon lights, water, houses, toilets, Mtv, Pubs.

Only goat paths, donkeys, local nomads, moon light, lakes, tents, stones who hides our shit, music in the evening with empty barrels, and last but not least morocco tea with lots of sugar.
