As a passionate traveller my aim is to ensure a better understanding for different cultures, habits, customs, world-views and philosophies. Furthermore as a Cultural Anthropologists I study how people who share a common cultural system, organize and shape the physical and social world around them, and are in turn shaped by those ideas, behaviors, and physical environments. This is accomplished by paying attention to details and understanding what truly drives humans behavior. The methodological approch Cultural Anthropologists get trained in, is mainly a holistic and systems-analytical approach that focuses on how individual components of a system are related, how systems function over time and how they work in the context of even larger systems. This is mainly done by taking into account other than our western scientific views, but by including different unique cultural knowledges.As a Masters graduate from Heidelberg university I mainly studied cultural knowledge systems of Tibetan communities in Exile (Nepal) that I combined with different anthropological topics but also with Buddhist Studies. Currently I use my expertise in the role of a Scrum Master at a consultancy.
