CURRENT MISSION

Always striving to learn something new

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, placid and modest guy, who is always open for something new. I like meeting people of different parts of the world to expand my horizon and to see things from a different perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

Always be yourself. Unless you can be a unicorn. Then always be a unicorn.

Don't judge a book by its cover!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Being interviewed on my last day in japan for japanese television channel about japanese vs. austrian fruits :)

Missing my connecting flight from Beijing to Shanghai and being stranded there for a few hours without money, internet and knowledge of Chinese. That was actually a more or less terrible experience, but it's a good story to tell :P
