About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore nice cultures and places.

ABOUT ME

Im 31 years old. Creative, enthusiastic, sometimes chary, sometimes not.
I always like to get new experiences and to meet nice people.

PHILOSOPHY

With my words:
Be a nice person, and nice things will happen to you. Don't be nice just for hoping to receive something back. Be nice just for your the pleasure of own heart. The rest will follow. Believe me or not, most people like people with a big heart.

In short (with the words of Bruce Lee):
Be water my friend!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. A Bicycle-Tour through Valle de la Muerte of the Atacama Desert. Six hours in the burning sun with a shaky bike and only 2 liters of water. Later then I sat on top of a mountain, watched the beautiful sunrise and ate the incredibly most delicious apple in my life!

2. Alta Gracia (Argentina): I jumped out of a plane.

3. Israel - "The Crazy Land"
