How do I start my day?
It's pretty unspectacular: I'm not a morning person. I need about a half hour to get ready, something to eat and then off to work.
What's typically German?
Purpose-driven and diligence
Do I have any typical character traits?
I think I'm pretty industrious, at least at work. Outgoing and open-minded.
My biggest strength is:
Consistency and reliability.
My biggest weakness is:
I often put off things for too long before I take care of them.
What do I like to do in my free time? Windsurfing, windsurfing, windsurfing :-) - with friends when possible. I like having fun with my friends, snowboarding, riding waves - and travelling is a natural part of that.
My favorite food?
Burritos, for example, spaghetti Bolognese or Cabonara. I like pasta in general, but also fish and meat.
What kind of music do I listen to?
I listen to lots of different things: Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Jack Johnson, Moby, Gossip, Die Ärzte… I could list so many more!
What do I wish I had more time for?
Travelling.
How do I feel about the future…?
I have to say, that I don't think so often about the future. I'm not coming up with any brilliant plans. For the moment, I'm enjoying my freedom. In a few years, maybe I'd like to have a little family with the right wife on my own little island ;-)
My philosophy is:
Have fun with whatever I'm doing.
