I am originally from middle of Germany, but I spend a lot of time in France. And I love to travel around the world. Even if there are still a lot of white spaces on my Europe and world map...

Secondly I love to interact with people. Never mind if they are friends, familiy or unknown guys... I love to meet new people...

And that's me...(in my favorite city):
