About Me

CURRENT MISSION

live a happy life

ABOUT ME

I studied at the University of Leipzig. After that I spent two years living and working in the UK. Now I am back in my home town and very happy about that. I made the experience that time didn't stand still while I was away. Many things changed, many of my friends aren't here anymore and I had to get used again to live and work in Germany. I absolutely love foreign languages and I am very interested in other cultures and travelling. I love being in the nature and being surrounded by good friends. I think this is true happiness in life.

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around. I believe very much in karma.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am currently reading Stieg Larsson, whose books are amazing. I like thrillers or horror movies, romances not so much. Music: I love jazz and country but at the end of the day I am very open minded for pretty everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

amazing thing done:

When I came back to Germany I put everything what fit in my car and drove from Torquay in South Devon to Leipzig in Germany. I was driving approximately 21 hours. I made little breaks but just wanted to get there so I kept going. It was very very very hard to stay awake and change to driving right etc. I think I had a few guardian angels watching over me but I managed to arrive healthy and well.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: German, Italian and English - I was working as a language teacher and love teaching languages.
Learn: so many things, I would love to learn all the time really, there is always so much one doesn't know.

Share: experiences, friendship
