ABOUT ME

Beside this box it says I should write ALL about me... Hm...

I studied History (focussing on Environmental History) and German on a teaching degree and worked as a teacher afterwards. But lately I decided to go on another "University adventure" and do another MA degree at the VU Amsterdam, this time in Politcal Science (again, with a focus on the Environment).

During my free time love to read , think, talk, hike, dance (mainly Lindy Hop and Electro), ski, and listen to music (Jazz, Acid Jazz, Funk, Swing). Besides this I am trying to learn Yoga and Dutch (oviously!;). My "personal christmas" usually takes place beginning of July: its the WORLDWIDE FESTIVAL in Sete by Gilles Peterson. I am a big fan of his music, the town and the athmosphere...

I think that should do for now...

音乐、电影和书籍

My favourite styles of music are (Disco-)Funk, Jazz, House, Swing and Blues sometimes. I am not a movies expert, but I usually like independant movies like "Le Nom de Gens" or "Silentium". I have some favourite TV-Shows though. On the very top of the list are John Olivers "Last Week Tonight"-Show, Stphen Colberts "Late Night Show" and the UK Classics "Black Books" and "IT Crowd", but I also enjoy "Big Bang Theory" and the Austrian Show "Willkommen Österreich".
My favourite books mainly include non-fiction books like Bill Brysons "Mother Tongue" or "At Home: A Short History of Private Life" and "Utopia for Realists" by Rutger Bregman, which I considered very inspiring. Occassionally I also read thrillers, such as Frank Schätzings "Der Schwarm". Apart from that I like newspapers...
