"But only he, who travels and takes chances, can break the habits' paralyzing stances."

Coming from Rostock, in the very north of Germany, I moved to France after school, where I live and study ever since. At my arrival, I couldn't speak a word of French but I somehow managed to make my way through the culture jungle of daily misunderstandings. On my journey to the life as a Frenchmen, I work in bars and restaurants to earn my daily baguette and I study Sociology and Political Sciences. Lately, I have been living in Cairo, Egypt for a year, learning Arabic and studying philosophy.
