About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To produce a film in Vienna, learn German and Japanese, eat sushi, make friends, and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I'm travelling the world as a writer and creative entrepreneur. I work hard and I love to have fun! I want to learn new languages and skills and meet interesting people, and have new experiences :-)

PHILOSOPHY

'The most that any one of us can seem to do is to fashion something - an object or ourselves - and drop it into the confusion, make an offering of it, so to speak, to the life force.' - Ernest Becker, 'The Denial of Death'

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite movie is 'Groundhog Day'.

Jack Kerouac is my favourite writer.

For music - I can listen to almost anything, but I really like classic rock (The Doors, Rolling Stones, etc) and I like working to modern dance music like Disclosure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once stayed live on radio for 24 straight hours in order to raise money for charity. It was a fantastic experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach you how to speak English. I can also teach you all about literature, nutrition and exercise.

Learn: Anything really. But specifically languages. I'm learning Japanese at the moment. I also want to learn how to dance, how to cook, martial arts, and anything artistic like drawing or photography.
