About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the world

ABOUT ME

I´m about to finish M.A. in Medieval Literature at the University of Bremen. It might sound nerdy but believe me, it´s not. ^^
I'm an eclectic and curious person, I like learning new things especially by observing the surroundings. I try to keep body and soul active, keeping the focus on what I like. This leads me to disappointment sometimes, when I can´t make the best out of my 24-hours per day. This kind of drags me down from time to time...
I was born on planet eARTh and therefore brought to this world with some -more or less remarkable- artistic skills. I like to be driven by all my five senses into this colourful wild world. In these last two decades I had the opportunity and luck to grow up with ballet and painting, and entered the world of Oriental dance, Tribal fusion and Irish dance. There was a time when I even tried to learn to play Celtic harp, but my lack of patience did not help much and now that I live abroad I had to get separated from my instrument. At the moment I am challenging myself with zils though.

Recently I also started to knit and I´m very proud to have learned a couple of patterns on my own (after lots of struggling eheh). It´s a very good way to relax whilst listening to radio podcasts ^^

I really enjoy travelling both alone and with friends, expecially when something unpredictable pops out...you always need somebody´s support! And of course, sometimes you do need/want somebody to share your experience with!
I'm a quite strong mind and I hardly develop any addiction, but there are a couple of things I could never give up: tea, fruits and vegetables, yoghurt. I am fine wherever these three things are present!!! Last but not least: I enjoy good recipes and try to leave environmentally friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

Always count on yourself and be indipendent.
Effort in everything I do.
Learn from others.
O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts! (J.Keats)
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty, - that is all
Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to write, too few compared to every person's background. Suggestions are more than welcome :)
