About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Catch the fish!

ABOUT ME

Hey, my name's

I'm 23 years old and grew up in Munich, Bavaria. Everything was fine and snug and well until about a year ago when I left my home to do the Camino de Santiago, which completely blew my mind, made me find my better half :) and made me aware of things beyond my bavarian cultural borders.

Since then I have in a good way been kind of all over the place, be it in my head or physically. I've been spending a few tough months in London now studying abroad, and am currently trying to get my head around what comes next in London as I have half a year left, but currently no place to stay.

I am generally quite companionable, love Music and evenings with the philosophy found in a bottle of wine :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Camino de Santiago!
Having the sky as your blanket in the midst of nature for days on end and being able to share that with lots of other open-minded people must've been one of the greatest things I was allowed to experience in Life.

Bungee jumped from a 60m crane.
