CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know the Scandinavia

ABOUT ME

Well, how do I start? I'm Benjamin, I'm 22 years old. I would roughly describe myself as an easy to get along with and rather open-minded person. I am patient with others and try to get along with the people around me. I like being together with my friends but I also love to get to know new people, especially from different countries and cultures, which is the best way to widen your horizon and remove prejudice about others and other cultues. I can be very excited and enthusiastic about some things, but can also be quite lazy sometimes. I love to go out and have fun and grab some beers together with the people around me and I love to laugh at things, even about myself. I love music (unfortunately only passivly), watching movies and playing and wathching football. If you want to know more, feel free to ask. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not really a very philosophical type of person, but I guess the most important thing is to enjoy life, share your joy with others, don't hestitate to take chances, don't look back in sorrow, but live in the present and look forward to wonderful times. does that sound cheesy?
I like what that smart little indian guy once said, something like "Almost everything you do will seem unsignificant, but it is important that you do it"
