  • Description

    I'm a clandestino from Dresden, Germany. I changed my career path more than once in my still not so long life haha. My interests and skills vary in quite a wide range. Therefore to sum it up: I always like to learn what I can and to share what I know or think :)
    I finished a degree in energy systems engineering in Dresden in 2022. Actually I'm not a typical mechanical engineer but more of a practical and nature interested kind. I tried to enjoy a full-time engineering job at a photovoltaics company (I installed PV-panels on Tenerife at a wonderful workaway site in 2022) but purely theoretical office work is not for me. But to know how to solve complex problems in the most easy and economical way possible still helps me a lot today in my life after engineering. Anyways it was time to change up my life and the workaways in Tenerife und Puglia, Italy helped me a lot acknowledging this.
    I changed plans again after trying to get into several art degree programs in Germany (I didn't get in but that didn't kill my passion for art).
    Then I tried to start a coffee trade and cafetería business with a friend in Dresden, Germany but that didn't come to fruition because of my very morally and value-driven principles of how a company should be run. Sooo time to start from scratch again!
    Right now I'm working part-time in a vegan Café and as a part-time accounter for my family's company.
    On my journey to Colombia next year I want to learn as much about Colombia and its coffee as possible because I want to stay in the coffee business with a proper coffee-truck-company for festivals and events.
    I also like playing different kinds of team sports. There should be always some time for a good game of basketball!
    Also I enjoy practicing my language skills, meeting new people and sharing deep or not so deep talks. Spontaneous trips and exploring places always make my day better and make me feel free. To achieve that I also like to practice some yoga ... Awareness to ourselves and the nature around us are key to a peaceful life.

    Card games are always a cool thing to pass time, but I like more strategic board games as well.
