ABOUT ME
I have worked for an NGO in Andra Pradesh, India. Fell in love with the counrty... Went back a few months ago and visited more places in Asia. I graduated from University in 2011 (anthropology and philosophy) starting a masters in anthropology at Oxford in October. Currently living the lazy life, as a... sort of.. preparation. :p
I love music, dancing, capoeira, theatre, yoga, parties, reading books, and sleeping.
So that's what I fill my days with now :)
PHILOSOPHY
If you want to have a personal philosophy, don't study philosophy...
as your horizons widens you'll only become aware of everything you don't know ;)

Interests
Music: jazz from ancient times to now, rock, progressive rock, 60s psychedelic stuff, ambient, some electronic stuff, some classical stuff, world music, soul, funk, too much :) I love dancing to music even more, I've done modern dance, hiphop, classical Indian dance and ballet, and have been addicted to capoeira for the past three years. ^^
Reading lots of books all the time, especially the philosophical kind.
Traveling, hitchhiking and nature, hiking, going to good (dance) parties, I love my friends and family and spending time with them.
Seems I have no time left for working...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My time India was definitely - altough rough at time - amazing. I can't pick one single moment but I'll probably be talking about it (a lot) sometime during our meeting.
Also, I do a lot of hitchhiking in Europe and everytime again, I'm hesitant to get on the road, and everytime again, I'm surprised how easy and fast you can travel like that but mostly, how many diverse and friendly and wonderful people you meet on the road. Over thousands of kilometres of strange and amazing conversations, new insights, lots of laughing. If you want to meet a cross-section of society, get out on the road!
