About Me

ABOUT ME

I've studied German literature and cultural studies in Germany. Right now I am working as a Freelancer at a local newspaper in Stuttgart. Did Erasmus in Istanbul and now I am backpacking through Asia for 4.5 months!My masterplan is to become an established journalist in Germany. Would love to do documentaries about extraordinary ways of living and earning money with my passion for journalism. I am a very friendly but active person, sometimes I do talk a lot! Cannot keep my mouth shut, always want to meet new people, enjoy their company and sharing nice moments with friends! Pretty much into traveling, outdoor activities and always looking for the next adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Your simple words can affect the fate of others

Music, Movies, and Books

I've started to do photography with a semiprofessional camera, but still have a lot to learn and always happy for advice and tipps. I listen to almost every kind of music and i am open to all types of music! I love German and international literature, but especially and my one and only love: My Lonely Planet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the age of 16 I've been to New Zealand via AFS. I have met incredible great people and love this country and its people!
After High School I've traveled through Europe on my own, doing CS for the first time, drunk the real Portwine in Porto, ate the best food in the world in San Sebastian, almost run with the bulls in Pamplona, did not find Nessi in Loch Ness, lost my Passport in Edinburgh, traveled illegally to Dublin and now still alive and up to more adventures! My Erasmus in Istanbul started my passion for the Middle East, I am faszinated of the people, the beauty of the Arabic language and the culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I might be able to teach is my attitude to life: If you want something, go out and get it! I can also teach you playing the saxophone, rude German words, jokes, all my academic knowledge etc. What I would love to share is time: eating and drinking toegether, enjoying nice talks, laughing and of course the cultural exchange! What I would like to learn is first of all to understand the thoughts of the culture I am visiting then, its habbits and specialities, the people I hang out with, e.g. how they are managing their life ect.
