I'm something between a scientist, a journalist, a musician and an artist, curious and cordial.

Having worked both as a radio reporter and a mobile developer (creating iPhone apps), I quit my job not too long ago in order to go traveling. Currently, I'm on a trip around (half) the world for 7 months.

I'm traveling to reflect my thoughts and ideas with others and to figure out how I can use my skills to have a positive impact on the world when I get back. :)

I write articles to give my thoughts a concrete form and publish them on Medium if I feel like they're good. If you're interested – here's my profile:
