About me

Manuel Martensen, Sylt

I was born in the summer of 1974 on an island called Sylt, in the North-Sea. I am a Frisian, an islander, a gemini, and a free­thinker. I am narcistic and obsessed with aesthetic and beauty. I am inter­ested in design, web­tech­no­lo­gies, typo­graphy, cal­li­graphy, pho­to­graphy, and movies. I love nature and its extremes, snow­board­ing, bicycling, the ocean, sex, and my island. I believe in honesty, karma, faith, freedom, and true love. I can’t handle money, am easily bored, arrogant and a dreamer. I can’t stand ignorance, lies, racism, politics, borders, really fat people, and my receding hairline. I don’t care about wars, football or god. I don’t think global. Censorship is idiotic and I usually don’t donate to any cause if I don’t get something in return.

I went to Canada for two seasons of snow­board­ing, worked as a guide on the Isle of Crete and sold bikes, skis & boards in the Harz Mountains, but my island always drags me back after a while. Right now I’m stuck at being a janitor, payed like a monk.

I believe in unicorns, Peter Pan, Tom Sawyer and what my Grandfather taught me. Right after sex comes my love for heli­copters. I should have become a surgeon and I want to have kids. Want to know more?
