CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Benedikt, twenty-seven years old, recently finished his master studies in Decision Sciences at Maastricht University and just returned to Europe from a longer stay in Southern Africa, currently working as a development consultant in Hamburg, Germany. Easy going person that loves traveling and all that it yields: meeting new people, visiting different places and admiring the beauty of each culture. Enjoys writing, doing many kinds of sports, going to music shows, theater, cinema or just out for a drink, taking photos, having a randomly thoughtful or thoughtfully random conversation (take your pick!) and many more other stuff. Well, is not very good in describing himself, so hopes his interests do better...

PHILOSOPHY

The shortest path to yourself leads once around the world.

There must be more to life than having everything.
