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."
