SUMMERY OF LIFE

I was born in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, a dirty and unfriendly city in south west germany with more industrial than living areas!! i grew up in a nice and frienly village called Bobenheim-Roxheim, not far away from where i was born!! I basicly had a happy childhood there.

I dropped highschool with 16 and started a 3 year apprenticeship as a car salesman in a mecedes benz carshop. i already realized in my first year that this is not what i wanna do all my life but i was ambitious and stupid enough to finish it!! With 19, i did a volunteer social year in a resthome instead of joining the army!! i loved it.
After that i decided to go back to school for another 2 years and finish college!! my certificate to enter the university is not the best but i do not regret it!!
I went to New Zealand after finishing college. I was going to spend a year over there, learn and experience a new country, new people and a new culture and after that going back to germany. But everything here was so overwhelming and impressive that i have decided....i want to live here a little while!!!..and here i am, its been more than 14 months now and i still feel like i just arrived at the airport a week ago!! I have been visiting a lot of countries all over the world, but this aoteora (maori word for New Zealand, meaning "behind the white cloud") is the most breath-taking place i have ever been!! I am here to stay!!
