I believe:

  • that our earth is already in a catastrophic state.
  • that our economic system should be changed.
  • that we need new paradigms.

My life philosophy:
Several years ago, I returned from a long trip to Australia, during which I thought a lot about my life. In this context, some suggestions and rules emerged, which I like to refer to and orient myself by:

  • Be yourself. Don't pretend, because in the long run, it can be very exhausting.
  • Be brave and don't be afraid to have new experiences. This is the only way you will make progress on your path.
  • Since truth is the whole, try to express it in many forms such as conversations, feelings, art, literature, music, etc.
  • Cultivate serenity and do not struggle with what has already passed.

Recently read:

  • Thinking for Oneself: A Guide to Resistance (A great book that encourages independent thinking.)
  • Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered (E.F. Schumacher shows here how important it is to find the right measure.)
  • Eating Animals (An impressive book by Jonathan Safran Foer on the question of what we eat and what eating means to us.)

My tip to you

I am an absolute nature freak and try to spend my free time outdoors as much as possible. South Tyrol is particularly well suited for this. Since Bolzano is surrounded by many mountains, I often just take the cable car and go to Ritten. In the summer, I love Lake Montiggler and autumn is perfect for a hike on the Salten plateau. A truly extraordinary experience is also the Auener Hof, which is located at 1622 meters and is Italy's highest star-rated restaurant.
