ABOUT ME

i am always looking for new experiences, challenges and discoveries; in my private life as a traveller (>160 countries so far) and in my business life as a researcher. most people would consider me as funny and a little bit crazy (in a positive way). sometimes i end up in extreme situations, e.g. i was once lost in the jungle in costa rica for 3 nights, alone, with hardly any equipment. i seriously thought i would die there, but i made my own way out - and in the end it was by far the best experience in my life...

PHILOSOPHY

to live is the rarest thing in the world. most people exist, that is all. (O.W.)
