About Me

Hey everyone! :)
Just to clear up your confusion: I was born in Hamburg, Germany but am originally from Kaohsiung in Taiwan. I have spent 18 years of my life close to Hamburg, then lived in Kenya for one year, traveled Tanzania, and moved to the fabulous German city called Leipzig to study social and cultural anthropology. During that time I didn't study much but spent most of my time traveling, working for a student orga and in a café as a barista. Ok, I know this sounds boring but I promise I'm just giving you the frame of the story. After a long time of traveling I decided to settle down in Seoul for the time being where I did an intensive Korean language course for nearly 2 years. During that time I still traveled as much as I can (loads of stories to tell there!) but eventually had to move. Now I am back as a university student in Taiwan and living here for the first time.
I like being spontaneous, exploring new places and crazy ideas!

„What does God want? Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness? Is a man who chooses the bad perhaps in some way better than a man who has the good imposed upon him?" ~Antony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

I'm always intrigued by this question. What do you think...?
