About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi,
I live in Düsseldorf in Germany with my lovely family: my husband Andreas and our daughters Sophia (*May 2016), Emma (* November 2018) and Philina (* July 2020).
I am a teacher for the subjects German, Math and Psychology.
I am open-minded and love thinking and talking to other people. I a€™m interesting in other cultures. I love travelling.

So, I am looking forward meeting some interesting people and see countries from a insider-side. It's more interesting than from the tourism-perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Mistakes are often the best teachers.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- My life!

- I mountaineered mountains in Switzerland. Fantastic was to see all the glaciers that seem to be untouched. The formations were so beautiful. As I jumped over some crevasse I felt so small and committed. I felt the power of nature. That was amazing.

Some year later I was shocked how the glaciers changed. They became smaller and I saw how vulnerable nature is. We have to pay attention!
