About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep moving...

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer, and I love to enjoy everything what life can offer. I'm always looking for new challenges and try to live intensely every day.
I can be thoughtful sometimes and like having an honest conversation about..., well anything. And then there are times when I do the most craziest things.
I'm completely unable to resist when somebody gives me a challenge that starts with, "I bet you wont..." ;)
I love sitting in an old viennese coffee shop all day readig newspaper and having some "achterl" of wine.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess there's no perfect way of living, and everyone has his/her own philosophy.
I believe that the best way to live a healthy life, is a healty mind without prejudices and full of positive thoughts.
Living is learning and teaching. As long as we never remain on the same place, but move, no matter which way or which direction, we will change, and grow.

For me travelling is a very big part of my philosophy. It seems like, the further I travel the closer I get to myself and the people around me. Suddenly only the real important things matter, and it feels like nothing can ever put you down.
Life is all about being brave. Taking chances, and risking something.

Die Welt zu durchschauen, sie zu erklären, sie zu verachten, mag großer Denker Sache sein. Mir aber liegt einzig daran, die Welt lieben zu können, sie nicht zu verachten, sie und mich nicht zu hassen, sie und mich und alle Wesen mit Liebe und Bewunderung und Ehrfurcht betrachten zu können.
Hermann Hesse
