Overview
About Me
On holiday whole of August, Japan! woohoo
CURRENT MISSION
To live on every continent
ABOUT ME
Wouldnt be a good fireman, burning stuff on campfires is too much fun.
Travelling, outdoor activities and learning useless facts that would be me.
I am a geologist, working for a German oil company, I move around a lot which offers great opportunities to live in a new city every 6 months. Meet new people and cultures.
As a kid I always disliked learning new languages but actually living in the countries makes is so much more fun.
PHILOSOPHY
Great experiences should be repeatable, with new people

Music, Movies, and Books
I greatly enjoy 'wasting' away evenings in front of the tv. Series, movies, history documentaries
Escpecially those easy 1.5 hr action movies on a boring day.
Still read actual books, the smell of a fresh book is just something an e-reader misses.. (update: I bought one :/)
