About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get an international Master degree

ABOUT ME

Well, it's always difficult to talk about himself. I'm 27 and originally from Switzerland, but I left the chocolate country some years ago now. I was living in Valencia (Spain) and also in Finland the past years. I'm currently living in Freiburg where I will hopefully finish my master degree.
I'm a Master Student in European Forestry and I have a bachelor degree in Forestry and also a professional license as a Forestry worker. I worked five years as a lumberjack in my young years..

PHILOSOPHY

Live your dream and don't dream your life!!
One day, I hope to say I've seen the world, but that day is not here yet. (Scott Wilson - Departures)
Never stop Exploring (North Face!)
The limits exist until we find how to break it up (Mike Horn)
