      Hello Timmy,

      my favorite movie is Wall-e:

      I like diving in my free time – especially in coral reefs when I get the chance. At the moment I am running a lot because I am preparing for a marathon in Paris next year. I also really like art – I have been painting lately, but I am not great at painting yet.
      I speak german (because I am from Germany originally), english, french (I had that at school) and a little bit of spanish (because I worked in South America for a while)!

      My favourite movie of all time is Predator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger! It’s just the perfect mix of action, sci-fi, horror, comedy and cheesy 1980’s terrible jokes and special effects. 🙂

      My favourite hobbies are video games and tabletop role playing games, or RPGs. I’ve always loved video games since my dad got an Amiga 500 back in 1989, and I even wrote some reviews for a couple of online magazines!

      I didn’t get into RPGs until I was nearly finished my first college degree, but I ended up getting addicted to them (Galway has an amazing RPG scene full of enthusiastic and talented people). They’re pretty much you and 4-6 friends getting around a table to tell an interactive story for a few hours. One person sets the scene and plays minor characters, the others play the main characters. I helped set up a games convention called Itzacon in NUI Galway back in 2005, and it’s still going strong. I’m very proud of Itzacon 🙂

      I’m not a huge fan of sport, but I do love swimming for the exercise.

      I like to speak English, because that’s the language I was brought up with and it’s easiest for me, but I can speak Irish too, and though I’m quite a bit out of practice I used to be almost fluent in French.
