About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live and never regret

ABOUT ME

I am a busy mind, always on the run, trying to spend as much time as possible with people I care about, out in the nature, in the mountains at the seaside, in the urban sprawl ... wherever beauty pops up and brightens my day.
I've done some traveling, love music especially if it is live and real, the smaller the club the better.
The bike is my favorite means of transportation and has become even more - almost a part of my being.

PHILOSOPHY

The reality is silent. Reality shows only what we see, reality doesn't speak. Questioned, she will only give those answers we formulate ourselves - and even those match only vaguely the reality. (Hermans 2003: Au pair)

Die Wirklichkeit schweigt. Sie zeigt nur das was wir sehen, und sie spricht überhaupt nicht. Auf unsere Fragen gibt sie nur die Antworten, die wir selbst formulieren – und auch diese entsprechen größtenteils nicht der Wahrheit. (Hermans 2003: Au pair, S. 331)

Music, Movies, and Books

any music as long as the music comes from the depth of the heart. Especially live concerts have the power to really move and build up a connection between the artists and the audience. I have seen some of the "great" bands (Rolling Stones, ACDC, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Tool, Neil Young, ... ) but best moments always happened in small venues, when your standing only feet away from the stage

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spend a year in Norway, trekked trough Ladakh, biked the danube and fought for a better education in Vienna, learned (a little) Mandarin in Taipeh and moved to Brussels
