CURRENT MISSION UNTERWEGS ZUHAUSE (feeling at home by travelling) ABOUT ME Sometimes I like to leave the COMFORT ZONE, which is my usual behavioural state within which I operate in an anxiety-neutral condition, using a limited set of behaviours to deliver a steady level of performance, usually without a sense of risk. (after: White 2009) In my life there is a certain relation to chaos. PHILOSOPHY "The mind is like a parachute; it works much better when it's open." and also: Do not look away
