About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Improving myself and the way I perceive the world every day, making the best out of the short time I have on this beautiful planet

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded and warm-hearted, happy to meet new and interesting people and share stories from around the world.

My life has been somewhat adventurous during the last years. I'm a true field biologist, having spent quite some time in the jungle of Central America, where I studied bats. I now live in Switzerland where I grew up, and study animals in the lab.

I love to cook, chat, laugh, enjoy music, share experiences and learn from others.

PHILOSOPHY

It may sound lame, but: Treat others the way you would like to be treated. I think people waist a lot of time and energy to talk and argue about bullshit. I don't like the general aggressive attitude of some people, especially in anonymous places such as big cities - or the internet. There is no reason for being an asshole, at any time. I am honestly nice, because I think everybody deserves to be treatened equally.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending endless nights in the rainforest, surrounded by millions of critters, only being equipped with a flashlight, a note book and a bottle of water. Never have I felt that insignificant, and never that enchanted.
