An engineer is doing a little jump. A Kid is going home with a smile on its face after a day on the kids-construction side. The engineer I helped with understanding the simulation software. The kid I helped materializing its creative ideas. I have my happy moments when my help leads to the expression of spontaneous joy.
Hiking and playing music are my biggest two hobbies. Playing music in a house music with 2 zithers and 3 violines. Sometimes my foldable zither joins me on a hike.
