CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

25 years old, student, currently living in Berlin Kreuzberg. (not true: i will be heading back to Berlin in 4 months, right now i'm Down Under, in Sydney)
i love travelling. lying in hammocks or sitting in a café. thinking about the diffucult and wonderful parts of life. love cooking (italian food!)
i like beeing a student. learning about persons, politics, sociology, stories. ( mostly not in university though)
i like strolling through interesting cities, seeing people enjoying their lifes.

PHILOSOPHY

trying to be developping yourself further every day is important for me. i have changed a lot since highschool in a (i think so) good direction. for that i need to get to know differnt kinds of peoples, differnt places, differnt kinds of ways to be living. i want to become a "better" person, get to know whats good for me, find my own way.
an with this step right now, quitting uni for half a year, getting to travel to the other side of the earth (and also leaving behind family, friends and boyfriend) i'm on this way...
