About Me

ABOUT ME

I grew up at the southwest of Germany, not far away from Switzerland in a small town. After school I worked as a German teacher in Hangzhou, China. Unfortunately I only had less time to travel around, but I definitely will go there again if I have the chance. Currently I'm studying Bioengineering at KIT (University of Karlsruhe) I think it's fascinating how life works. As a student I had the chance to study in Taiwan for one year. It was a great experience to meet people from all over the world.
I like music and I've played the piano for 10 years. In my free time I also do lots of sports, for example skiing, sailing and cycling.
One of my hobbies is traveling around as well. I'm always interested in getting to know new people from all cultures. And there are still lots of places I haven't been yet.

PHILOSOPHY

If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade.
