About Me

CURRENT MISSION

some people talk about doing great things, other just do them

ABOUT ME

I was born in Germany and enjoyed growing up there. Since I lived in Amerika for nearly 2 years I know what my homecountry means to me.
I decided to live in Amerika to get out of a Routine and to try something different and of course to learn the language.
The last year was probably one of my best years. I learned so many new things, i was travelling all over the country, met all different kinds of awesome people and kept growing up with another influences.
To be so far away from home is not that simple, but it gave me another view about my friends and family - IMPORTANT - now I know the meaning. Now I try to get my life in order and try everything to make myself happy. I also look forward to do all my planned trips and travels and live my life to the fullest.

PHILOSOPHY

set realistic goals and go for it!
