CURRENT MISSION

Travel Europe

ABOUT ME

After living 20 years in one place I decided "it´s enough!!!" Meanwhile I did a backpacking trip to South America (Peru, Bolivia, Equador), Central America (Guatemala, Mexico and Belize), I am studying in London and I did my study abroad semester in the Surfer-California city: Saaaaaaan Diego!!! Next stop is HOPEFULLY South Africa, where I plan to do an internship.
I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and I am glad that there are languages, such as English and Spanish that make it possible to communicate and get to know other people.

I am also an author for a online travel magazine and enjoy writing and taking photos

Don´t take life too serious- you are only living once...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Bolivia was the most amazing country I´ve seen, I´ve been there only for about a week- but I saw amzing landscape- white salt desert, the bluest lakes i´ve seen, a cactus isalnd in the middle of nowhere, flamingos... just amzing!!!! One day I will definitely come back and see those things again!
- the coolest thing I ever did was swimming with whalesharks in the Caribbean Sea in Mexico... amaaaaazing
- I´ve been sandboarding in the desert of Peru, that was pretty cool.
- taking a shower underneath a waterfall (but it´s actually quite hurting)
- Sailing trips in Turkey and Greece with my family
