About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See and learn and live and have fun as much as possible. And play rugby.

ABOUT ME

I'm Fiona, originally from Germany.
I spent last year studying in Russia which was absolutely fantastic and frustrating at the same time!
So now I am in love with Russia. I also really like playing rugby and reading all kinds of books.

PHILOSOPHY

A little sincerity is a dangerous thing, and a great deal of it is absolutely fatal.
I know it's very unimaginative to copy what others said (in this case Oscar Wilde) but I do think what the man said is very true.
Be passionate, try to make a change, but don't take yourself too seriously. You'll end up looking ridiculous.
