Please note that my physical disability cause me to have motor activities, balance and small speech problems. Though i am lucky to life and work an independent life i still get regularly challenged by daily life, e.g. stairs without railings. I am open about my situation and through i don't want to be defined by it, any questions you might have can be asked. Only through open communication can we achieve a better understanding of each other and ourselves.

Hobbies

In my free time i often spent my times surrounded by my friends and sit down to play games, quite often of our own creation. Though i don't like to limit myself to digital games since i feel the greatest burst of imagination are produced by sitting down to play and create our own stories and gameplay using just pen and paper.

My favorite way to end the day might be just sitting down watching my shows or read literature. (Personal recommendation: The visit of the old Lady; Friedrich Dürrenmatt).

Beside my usual routines i would describe it as one of life's greatest pleasure to experience difference cultures and learn new ways of life. Meeting new people from different backgrounds quite often leads to a new perspective that enhances not only my personal life but also my working life. Also as person growing up in a small town, i was very to late to experience all those fantastic dishes the world has to offer.

TLDR: Once i ate japanese curry my life is a better one.
