  • Etwas, das du der Welt erzählen willst

    Greetings to everyone! I'm simply inquring, open-minded, friendly and sophisticated person looking for genuine acquaintances all around the globe. Essentially, I'm here because I enjoy long conversations and discussions of all kinds.

    Creativity and civility are sine qua non in my life. My interests revolve around a vast variety of topics and themes such as History (Classical antiquity & Medieval eras, predominantly Ancient Rome and Greece.), Cultural anthropology, Mythology & Foklore, Literature, Modelling and Figurines, Astronomy, Collecting antiquities, Wild life and nature, Linguistics, Handcrafts, Astrophotography just to name a few.

  • Mein Interesse an anderen Kulturen

    Without learning other cultures around us, we are simply like the frog living in the bottom of the well and glancing at the sky from the bottom of the well. In such situation, sky is always in the size of the well's head diameter.

  • Ich bin begeistert von...

    Well. I'm always excited when I'm about to create something or about to comprehence something totally alien to me. A good movie, book, documentary, and a like-minded accompany, are quite enough to excite me.

  • Die Welt zu einem besseren Platz machen

    We might see the world as a better place in the very day we see homosaphiens in the list of endangered spicies. I know it sounds kind of brutal but mankind's self is nothing but a destructive brute.

  • Ein kleiner Rat

    “Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you're trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most."

  • Etwas ungewöhnliches über mich

    I have chiroptophobia.

  • Meine größte Errungenschaft

    I've been a volunteer in an animal shelter for several years. I'd hundreds of adorable furry little buddies. I'm proud of every life we've saved over there.

  • Über- oder unterschätzt

    Overrated: Mankind.
    Underrated: Wolves.

  • Eine persönliche Herausforderung

    Once I've tried to live in a cave for a week. After this experience, I can easily say that "stop watching survival shows on TV, nature always wins!" 🙂

  • Meine Meinung zur Natur des Menschen

    An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

    He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”

    The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

    The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

  • Meine Eltern und ich

    My parents are two distant stars in the sky anymore but yet they keep throwing light on my path even in the darkest nights.

  • Für ein Jahr im Ausland leben

    Without a second thought, I'd say Iceland: ranges from crystal blue glacier lagoons to green moss volcanoes, red sand beaches, black desert landscapes, mighty waterfalls, enigmatic shows of geysirs, northern lights.... unspoiled wilderness. It'd serve me lots of things to discover for a year.

  • Ich rede immer gerne über...

    I enjoy talking about facts or experiences on anything. Literally anything.

  • Ich wünschte, die Menschen würden mehr wissen über...

    I wish people knew more about that prejudice is ignorence.

  • Ich habe vor Kurzem gelernt...

    Religion is for people who're afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who've already been there.

  • Ich bin besorgt wegen...

    I feel concerned about anything becoming extinct on this Earth: a culture, a language, some manner or etiquette, some animal, some plant or some other spicies.

  • Ich bereue...

    I wish I had started with astrophotography in early ages.
