TOP 3 Cities

Berlin, Melbourne, San Francisco

When I travel, I always bring

I special neckpillow and earplugs

Best travel advice I can give is

Don’t bring too much!

When I do not skateboard I

try and enjoy the privileges of living in the first world, instead of letting all the negative sides of that get to my head.

spend time with friends.

My fitness program is

very variable, but has elements of:.

stabilization, coordination, strengh, speed and balance.

I mostly use my own body weight, if needed. Some machines do help for certain stuff, though.

When I get old I want to

be happy together and sort of healthy.

I would like to see more of

nice gestures and friendly treatment among people. A bit of empathy helps to bring minds together.

That one time where I was in jail because of

that stupid day, I was driving to authorities to get full license for my then Café, got done for having smoked hash the nite before and lost my licence.

I should do more of

Cooking and inviting friends over, sharing good times.

My future looks like

it is very uncertain, but still bright.

I dream of

a Berlin with a couple of sick skateparks and my vertramp somewhere private…

The book I currently read is

Far away in the shelve
