CURRENT MISSION

To find out who I truly am and to change the world ; )

ABOUT ME

I´m a life-loving, open-minded, uncomplicated and optimistic kind of guy. I´m more the quiet type but I love to have a good laugh and get crazy with people I can connect with.
I just finished school and will start studying (hopefully political science and english studies) by the beginning of October. But before that I will travel through the US for three months. I´m really looking forward to this because now I can be truly free for the first time in my life.

PHILOSOPHY

"You need to try the impossible to reach what is possible"
- Hermann Hesse

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I´ve seen in my life was the Canoe Journey, where more than hundreds native-american tribes gathered to celebrate their culture, to dance and to share songs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the guitar, how to juggle (but only with 3 balls :P , how to do martial arts with a sword and I can teach you some German if you´d like to learn it.
If you play an instrument it would be great to share a jam session.
In general I´d love to learn more about other cultures and ways of life ...
