About Me

CURRENT MISSION

feet on earth head in the sky

ABOUT

Currently working at an association in Berlin in international economic cooperation between Germany and Africa (mostly Tunisia, Senegal, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Egypt) and getting out to all the lakes near Berlin and biking/ camping as much as possible.

Love love love the outdoors! No day better spent than with good friends hiking, mountain-biking or ski-touring in the mountains.

PHILOSOPHY

A stranger is a friend you just haven´t met yet.

Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they're supposed to run wild until they find someone, just as wild, to run with.

To know what you are doing is an advantage. To look like you know what you are doing is essential.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you will land among the stars.
