I live in rural Eastern Brandenburg, only a stone's throw from both Berlin and Poland. I see myself as quite a friendly individualist. My main interests are reading, writing, geography, listening to music, and mostly the great outdoors. I am enthusiastic for all things plants .. above all: trees. For decades I have had a passion for hiking & walking .. also longer distances. Other than that, I do enjoy good conversation and talking about views & ideas & all the small & big questions of life.
