About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet people / travel / enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going girl who likes to talk and to meet new people. I studied literature so I love reading books. Obviously I'm also infected with the travel virus, which brought me to great places so far :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever choices you make, go for it 1000% and even when the experience turns out to be bad or hard don't regret it afterwards. You always learn something from it.
Live your life without regrets!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was pretty impressed when I came eye to eye with a giant sea turtle while taking my open water diving lessons in Zanzibar.
I was also very emotionally touched when I saw a herd of thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara river before my eyes in Masai Mara, Kenia.
And recently I was very lucky to see six lions attack a buffalo (he got away!) in Serengeti NP.
You see, most of my amazing moments concern nature, life as it is. But I can also be amazed by a friendly word or a nice gesture of someone :-)
