-- about me --

socialist, feminist, against racism, for open borders, (trying-to-be-)vegetarian, anti-packaging, atheist, optimist. i support an open, diverse, inclusive, reformed and just eu. and i believe in unicorns.

i've been living in munich for four years now, recently finished studies and working in social research. i love the company of others, discussing politics and social issues, cooking, swimming, cycling, hiking, travelling, reading and discovering new music.

-- philosophy --

все будет хорошо.
