ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going and generous person that enjoys adventure and action as well as relaxing in a comfortable environment. I am passionate about my interests, but also appreciate diversity and like to relate to people with other interests. I can be quiet and chilled, but also fun-loving with a cheeky sense of humour.

PHILOSOPHY

"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted" - John Lennon
"There are no ordinary moments" - Dan Millman
"Glug a slug from the jug" - Jack Kerouac

"To take the world as one finds it, the bad with the good, making the best of the present moment, to laugh at Fortune alike whether she be generous or unkind, to spend freely when one has money, and to hope gaily when one has none, to fleet the time carelessly, living for love and art, €”this is the temper and spirit of the modern Bohemian in his outward and visible aspect. It is a light and graceful philosophy, but it is the Gospel of the Moment, this exoteric phase of the Bohemian religion; and if, in some noble natures, it rises to a bold simplicity and naturalness, it may also lend its butterfly precepts to some very pretty vices and lovable faults, for in Bohemia one may find almost every sin save that of Hypocrisy. ...

His faults are more commonly those of self-indulgence, thoughtlessness, vanity and procrastination, and these usually go hand-in-hand with generosity, love and charity; for it is not enough to be one'€™s self in Bohemia, one must allow others to be themselves, as well. ...

What, then, is it that makes this mystical empire of Bohemia unique, and what is the charm of its mental fairyland? It is this: there are no roads in all Bohemia! One must choose and find one's own path, be one'€™s own self, live one's own life." - Gilett Burgess

Interessen

As a filmmaker and musician, I'm obviously passionate about films and music. I'm also a fiend for video games, especially after a toot on some weed (which is my other major passion and also makes the first two interests pretty awesome as well). Coming from a small country on the bottom of the map, I have always been intrigued by other countries and cultures. As a filmmaker/musician/artiste/samurai/psychonaut I appreciate the different backgrounds people come from and love to hear interesting people's stories. I'm a sucker for aesthetics, so I'm always trying to record interesting landscapes, characters and other sensory delights for later use in my work.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Travelling through Thailand really blew me away. From riding elephants in the jungle in the north (and knowing they were really being looked after, unlike other places we saw further down), to the sundowner cocktails and magic shakes in hammocks on the seashores down south - it was an amazing place that I can't wait to go back to.

The culture of Chiang Mai (we went there during Songkrang - the weeklong celebration of the Thai new year), the remote beauty of Koh Kood (getting lost in the jungle looking for 'secret' waterfalls and the most deserted beautiful beaches we encountered), the luxury and blissful atmosphere of Thong Nai Pan on Koh Phangan (on the opposite side of the island from the full moon parties) and the heaven-on-earth that is the Ang Thong Marine Park (and that is not easy for me to concede, coming from a beach hotspot myself!), to the craziness of Patong with it's brilliantly entertaining neon-lit sleaze and the recovering communities of the tsunami-hit Ko Lanta (one of my favourite places on the trip - especially after the magic shakes and brilliant sunsets!) - My 5 week trip to Thailand was easily one of the best periods of my life and I hope to revisit soon!
