About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread Rock n' Roll around the Globe

ABOUT ME

I am a swiss citizen but have lived in Ireland, Egypt and Colombia

My final goal is to become rich enough to buy an island on which I will create an independent federalistic state. However this will take a while. Therefore I travel around to gather ideas, philosophies, religions, recipes and beers and share them with others.

The actual plan is to build up a backpacker hostel in Colombia with my brother. You can find more information here: http://www.bolivarhostalminca.com

I have a weakness for Comics, but am interested in Art in general. However, I am not a culture-vulture as I am interested in crapulousness as well.

I invented Borolosonia, a country near the Borolosakk mountains, as well as Borolosonian, the local language.
It is internationally best known for the naked tailor uprising

I have two cats, be gentle to them and give them cookies
they will eat out of your hands

PHILOSOPHY

errare humanum est
