CURRENT MISSION
Finding our way through the balkan countries to Istanbul! :))

Since I tried to take the plane as seldom as I can, I decided to travel by train to Istanbul and then take the plane to Bischkek to join the studentgroup for a geographical excursion around the country.
My boyfriend Bene is joining me but he'll go back to germany from Istanbul.

ABOUT ME/US
Friends call me an easy going person. I really like people with sense of humor who like to laugh as I do. I'm always dreaming and thinking about a better, more sustainable world.
When I'm not travelling I'm writing my master thesis about soil contamination.
Bene is a really good salsa and bachata dancer and we love to go out and dance! I'm still learning the steps and moves but it's a lot of fun!
We like to cook and discovering new recipes :)
He is working like a ship mashine engineer, so if you have any questions about big ships and how they get our goods around the world, he could tell you ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Utopia rules!
Qui va doucement va sûrement et qui va sûrement va longuement!
Cambio io cambio il mondo.
Nachts ist es kälter als draußen.

Interests

I like to eat local food! The nature is in my concern as well, so I love to snorkel in the sea, to ride a horse and to hike up some lovely mountains^^
A nice discussion about how we can change the world in combination with a good tea or cappuccino is something I can't deny.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorit music is always influenced by my mood and my flatmates. When they discovered something new I'm listening to it for a couple of weeks until something new is coming up. Actually Tom Rosenthal, my sleeping karma, dead can dance, happy rhodes, Liedfett, Jack Johnson and Jeroen van Veen are dominant in my playlists ;P

Some books I loved to read and I really can recommend:

Le petit prince- St. Exupéry
La soumission- Michel Houellebecq
Selbst denken- Harald Welzer
Thinking fast and slow- Kahneman
The Reader
Von der Kürze des Lebens- Seneca
Effi Briest- Theodor Fontane
Die Physiker- Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Homo faber-Max Frisch

Bene is a big fan of Harry Potter and many other fantasy books.
Something we're not sharing :D
