About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Leipzig, ready or not here I go...

ABOUT ME

I have never travelled the world alone before so I'm starting with a humble visit to my neighbouring country of Germany in time for the Leipzig Game Convention. I'll hopefully be writing about it in a national newspaper, for which I''m freelancing. Which is also why I won't be getting any travelling expenses refunded. I am also seriously too late to get any hotelreservation in town, so I hope this works out or else I'm screwed :).

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem, sed festina lente; Seize the day, but not too hastily.
Though others insist my motto is: Punctuality is the virtue of the bored.

Interests

Fresh air, since I'm allergic to almost anything organic and my asthmatic lungs shrink in fear from anything chemical, this is indeed a rarity. secondary interests are food, meaningful conversation, movies, books, games, writing and all sorts of physical activities, including skating, biking, dancing, sports and martial arts.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Of lately, The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton, Grand Theft Childhood by Kutner & Olsen. More generally anything by Lovecraft, Stephen King or John Wyndham, Orson Wells etc.

Movies: C'mon this years superhero movies rocked bottoms! Hulk, Iron Man and the Dark Knight. More generally anything sci-fi or fantasy, since they're great vehicles for creativity and philosophy.

Music: Anything goes here, as long as it's good. Pop, rock, metal, dance, funk, hiphop, classical, alternative or campfire songs, bring it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
