About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I never know ;)

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, experience something new, meet people... I think it is the best way to enjoy life. For me life is like an adventure - you go somewhere, meet local people who can tell you a lot about their culture, their experiences and you come to that point where things are developing by itself - you get a chance to look underneath the surface. That's the most exciting experience for me! I like to be involved and so I also enjoy it to volunteer or work in other countries - it gives me the chance to get a deeper impression. I've done that a few times: I went to school in Vancouver, I went to a flamenco school in Sevilla, I went as a student to Boston University, I worked on a game farm in South Africa and I worked as a dog handler for Yukon Quest and Iditarod mushers in Canada and Alaska. Now I'm looking for new experiences and adventures.
