About Me

ABOUT ME

I study sociology, anthropolgy and law in Zurich. Besides my studies I work in a huge cinema as an allrounder. We are a quite funny team and since I can watch movies free of cost I'm often in the cinema to watch a movie... it's almost like my own livingsroom ;-)

Then I work as a volunteer in an Organisation called ICYE (International Cultural Youth Exchange). With ICYE I went to India to work in a rural project for half a year (+ half a year travelling, so all together 1 year India). Now I'm in charge of the Indian exchangees coming to Switzerland.

PHILOSOPHY

"We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open." (Jawaharal Nehru)
