Manuel Fluck - My Private Life (some of it...)
During all my studies my
"office" was my balcony. I spend as much time
as possible
outdoors. I love the nature and i love the fresh air. When
not working i run around somewhere in the green; depending on where i
am,
this is either in The
Mountains, at The
Sea or
if i can't leave the city, it's at least on the grass - Ultimate Frisbee.

I love
the mountains: the
clean air, the quietness, the adventures. In summer i go climbing or
simply hiking; In winter i take my snowboard with me, walk up to a
summit and surf down.

Ultimate Frisbee is a great sport, it is always huge fun. I really like my home team, the Tiefseetaucher. But ultimate is also nice because it connects you to so many players all over the world. It's like a big family connected by the "spirit of the game" and wherever you go: you alway find someone to play ultimate with and you always find friends. |
The
Sea is a rather new
friend for me. I have grown up close to the mountains and have never
been much to the sea. But since my time in Auckland I love the sea,
too. I started sailing and kite surfing which I both like very much. I
think the sea is the Mountain's sister. She offers the same kind of
freedom and the same kind of adventure which we find whenever we join
nature.
|
I also love getting
around and seeing new places - I travel a lot.
Because the experience is much deeper when one really lives in a
foreign
place (rather than just travels through it) I try to combine
traveling with work/ university as much as possible. Here are some
impressions of the bigger journeys I did:

Studying in Canada for one semester | Studying in Norway for one semester | New Zealand for my final thesis | Kite surfing road trip through east Australia |
