About Me

CURRENT MISSION

just done with my studies - now enjoying the summer

ABOUT ME

phew...that's a hard one! I see myself as very open-minded and positive-thinking. I'm a good listener which is because I like to hear other people's thoughts. I laugh a lot, quite often about myself and my sillyness. The little pleasures of life like good food, a nice view,or watching animals and think of what they might be thinking...quite often make my day!
I LOVE travelling (of course!) - it's the only real way of leaving daily life behind, where you can really relax, let go of everything and enjoy the simple things in life while at the same time you widen your horizon by finding out soooo much about other people, other countries as well as yourself...
Broad-mindedness is the most important value for me and I think if it would be for everyone, our every day lifes would be a lot easier...this is also why I love meeting new people, so I can get to know their views and their way of living!
I like to see everything that occurs to me as a new experience - positive or negative: you always learn something out of it...
So, that was my more serious side, that's a big part of me but at least as big is another one: I really enjoy going back to basics and see things like a child - just doing what I'm up to at that moment and seeing the little things bigger...

PHILOSOPHY

Our thoughts control our emotions and our behavior, so it's worth keeping an eye on them...that's the psychologist in me talkin... ;D
