About Me

ABOUT ME

What to say about me? Well, I'm a well-spirited young man travelling by bike through Eastern Europe heading for a "Work&Holiday Year" in Israel. I used to study physics but realised that doing research is not for me or maybe I just didn't have enough brains.;) Though I'm still very fond of science and I'd say my way of thinking is deeply influenced by it.
Things that are dear to me:
Scepticism, humor, family, friends, music, books, my bike, freedom, movement, dancing, travelling, curiosity, democracy, languages and communication, mountains, the sea, beer, a good arguement and maybe a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What does that even mean: "Amazing"?
There's a lot of stupid things I've done. For example: Walk up to the Bouncers of one of the biggest Clubs in Berlin and ask them if they knew where to find drugs. Just to see how they'd react..... I assume there's limits for humor.
