About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling in South Korea and Japan

ABOUT ME

My idea of traveling is to have a cultural exchange with the local people.
Finished university and want to travel through South Korea and Japan. Always like to try new things, see new places, meet new people. I was born and raised in Germany, so if you like to learn/speak german or english(both fluent), I can help you with that.
I am a beginner in Korean and Japanese, but I try my best, to get better. I also know a little Spanish and French.
I am not a picky eater, not allergic to any food and don't smoke.

PHILOSOPHY

You shouldn't wait, until you are old, to see the world, because most certainly you won't do it then.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of music to different occasions from Rock/Pop over classical music to electronic music. Right now I like to hear to Ed Sheeran and Coldplay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled for 8 weeks through China, and for the lack of speaking the Chinese Language It was sometimes hard, but an experience I don't want to miss. I met many great people, learned much about the culture and I often forgot the time when I had been to a karaoke place with them to the next morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning new languages and teaching others becoming better in German or English.
I like great discussions and to talk about many topics(medicine, art, culture and so on)
I like to share my food and place with guests and i like to bring gifts as form of respect to a host.
