+
+I was raised in a [small town](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfersheim) in the South-West of Germany. After my studies in Koblenz I settled there but traveling is a big passion of mine, especially with my wife, our two daughters and son in tow. My favorite destinations are bustling Southeast Asia and the beautiful landscapes of South Africa.
+
+To keep the balance, you'll find me hitting the weights at a gym or occasionally on a skateboard.
