CURRENT MISSION

free as a bird (well, it´s more a state ... maybe to find a mission?)

ABOUT ME

to cut a long story short... I'm a nice guy!

- made & raised in German Democratic Republic
- helped to break down the wall in East-Berlin but failed to understand or like the west
- oldfashioned... I love vinyl records & real printed books, handmade electric music...
- doctorate in industrial engineering
- singer of a punkrockband for 20 years
- travelling man (or raising the funds for the road)
- hobby-photgrapher/failed travel author
- in love with unspoiled people & the simple living
- "my world" works in ANALOG mode... well mostly!
- I want to know... & see it all by myself

And last but not least I am unfortunately in need for too many second chances...
