CURRENT MISSION

Cultivons plus d'arbres ~ Let’s Grow More Trees. :)
Exploring. Dreaming. Discovering (the beauty).

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as creative, full of ideas, eager to experience new things, a definite travel freak and a huge word enthusiast (language can be pure fun), who enjoys the small pleasures in life (like a good cup of tea, a good book or sighing over a splendid sunset - preferably in Paris).

PHILOSOPHY

La vie est belle! Spread the good things to others around, cultivate positive thinking, gratitude, humbleness and try to improve yourself - constantly. Life is a classroom. Always so much to learn (when we know better, we do better. ~ Maya Angelou). Oh, and there is a bit of magic in everything! Look closely! ;)

Musik, Filme und Bücher

Books: Can't decide since there are lots and lots of great books (from classics like Dostoevsky, Flaubert, Elizabeth Gaskell, Virginia Woolf, philosophy books that give you food for thought to reading for pleasure - authors like Kerstin Gier, Alexandra Potter, Sophie Kinsella, Lauren Weisberger), motivational articles and quotes...

Movies: European movies, series (The Cosby Show, Friends).

Music: Classical music (Mozart, Chopin, Debussy, Tchaikovsky), jazz, soul, instrumental (Kenny G), pop, R&B...

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Seen: The breathtaking view over the different shades of green mountains from the Great Wall, astonishing sunsets (the ones in Paris are magnificent) and falling for the glorious Madrid sky ("De Madrid al cielo, y, en el cielo, un agujerito para seguir viéndolo.")

Done: Scuba diving in the Canary Islands, parachute jumping, riding a camel in the desert...

Experienced: Getting an autograph from Ricky Martin unexpectedly while enjoying musicals in New York. Oh, that smile ... :)

Lehren, lernen, teilen

We can learn so much from each other, teaching is one of the noblest things out there and the more you share, the more uplifted you feel, right?

Fave quotes:
1) "Live for the moments you can't put into words."
2) "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." ~ Jawaharlal Nehru

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

My language knowledge and my countless witty travel stories. :)
