CURRENT MISSION

Character is how you treat those, who can do nothing for you.

ABOUT ME
In pursuit of writing some clever, artsy, witty albeit slightly pretentious, wanna-be poetry-style self presentation I should probably just put that out there right away: don't always take me too seriously.

I like to exchange stories of the mundane and the extraordinary.
I am interested to find out, what experiences shaped someone and made them into the person they are (psychologist speaking).

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

What I hope I can offer is to spend time with someone that is meaningful to both parties and where we can part ways having learned something from each other.
