Can’t get enough of… snow, friends and love.

My three suitcase essentials are… mp3 player, snowboard and climbing stuff.

The top five tunes on my playlist are… anything by sounds, seed, +44, good riddance or Incubus.

The five people I would most like to meet… there are no special people I’d like to meet, I’m happy with my friends!

I feel pressure when… I notice that I missed an important deadline for University.

Life is hard when… you are alone.

Life is good when… friends are around.

When times are tight… I try to do a lot of sport and not to think too much about my problems.

The reason I hate… big cities is that there are too many stressed people.

The reason I love… the mountains is that you can do a lot of sports and enjoy the landscape.

The greatest moment of my life… is hard to say, there are so many greet moments in life.

My ultimate motivation is… to go riding with friends.

My biggest fear is… to get injured.

When the day is done… I sleep.

Before I die I want to… enjoy my life.
