CURRENT MISSION

Live, experience, learn, grow.

ABOUT ME

I have lived in New Zealand all of my life. I'm studying towards my PhD in engineering, but try to lead a balanced lifestyle. Just like most other kiwis I have something of a travel bug, so I'm fascinated by virtually every culture except for my own. I love going to new places and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you'd want to be treated.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

New Years Eve 2008/2009 in Antananarivo, Madagascar. We were sitting on top of a van looking at the night sky and we could see stars overhead, lightning on one side of the sky and a sunset on the other side. Add that to a strong wind in our faces and it made for an unforgettable sight.
Another moment that left me awestruck was jumping out of a plane, going skydiving in Auckland. Huge rush!
