CURRENT MISSION

make a living from industrial and rock climbing

ABOUT ME

swiss, 27 years old, former salesman, studied journalism for a while (quit), currently trying to make a living from stuff i actually enjoy doing...i love nature and i like being outdoors, doing whatever kind of sports...quite open-hearted and open-minded, about to learn more on mindfulness, consciousness, compassion, lovingkindness, humbleness and some other important things in life (should have stayed longer at the buddhist monastery :D)...and generally having as much fun as possible...

PHILOSOPHY

I'm agnostic, nonetheless I believe in karma - do good, expect nothing and you will get what you deserve (which in general is gonna be friggin' awesome if u don't fuck up ;)...)...try to embrace life in every moment, no matter if satisfying or not...there is no good nor bad, even though we often categorize things that way...it's all about the law of cause and effect...

Teach, Learn, Share

i am willing to learn whatever people i come across can teach me...when it comes to teaching there's not that much i have to offer...i could teach you german, some french and english :D...the basics of rock climbing and rappelling, that's something i would love to teach anyone interested...i could teach you snowboarding, downhill skateboarding, ice skating as well as inline street skating, riding a motorbike and some other fun activities...basics of meditation (although i'm a beginner myself)...there certainly are some more things i just don't remember right now...:D...let's just exchange whatever we've got, it's gonna be enough for both, i guess...
