About Me



I'm an activist. I'm a filmmaker. I'm a vegetarian. I love art. I love film. I love music. I love food and I love to cook. I love spicy foods. I love mountain biking and dirtjumping. I love skiiing and snowboarding. I love parkour. I have a fetish for scars. I want a Mini Cooper. I'm a Mac. I'm Zander.

Variety is the spice of life.



Embrace love. Reject fear and hate.

My Interests



First They Came for the Jews

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."

Pastor Martin Niemöller

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who is interested in saving the world, film, skiing, biking, and/or parkour

A girl who speaks her mind, argues with me, is well educated, shops at unique stores as opposed to corporate, trend setting, clone shops, is witty and creative, is hyper and crazy, loves snow, and makes me work for her heart
