CURRENT MISSION

To visit every single place I've dreamed about when I was a kid. Also, to catch a flight on a zeppelin!

ABOUT ME

A friendly and rather talkative guy, tends to joke around a lot whenever possible. A bit more random than the average bear and happy to take part in random initiatives.

One with a passion for all things technical and always interested in how the world works.

Not really a morning person, so please just kindly disregard anything I might possibly tell you before noon.

PHILOSOPHY

Never give up, never back down.

Interessen

Languages
Love English, Japanese and Russian. Speak the first, can talk about the weather in the second and never had enough time to learn the third.

Technology in general.
Aeroplanes, Airships, Trains, Skyscrapers, Bridges, Computers and pretty much everything else.

Kendo. Yes, I do at times swing a sword around, even though it's made of bamboo most of the time :)

And books.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Resting by lying down on the glass ledges of the Sears Tower, with a 102 floor fall, some clouds, a layer of glass and a marvellous view of the city below me. What more is there to want?
