About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travalling the world for 9 month!

ABOUT ME

Together with my girlfriend Bianca I'm living just outside of Vienna in our cozy apartment.
Until my big travel I worked as a freelance artist and web designer. I love most things that have to do with any creative activity! :)

I write and read a lot, started studying philosophy, japanology, romance studies and animation in the past. I'm trying to get as much knowledge of the world as possible. On that path I realized the more I learn the more I see how little I actually know.

Film and music are also a great passion of mine, directing short films every now and then and sometimes writing musical dramas.

PHILOSOPHY

live and let live
