About Me

I burn with curiosity, I'm full of life and love. Usually smiling, and I probably like you, even though we haven't met.
I like people, places, then things. In that order. Although it would take more than a lifetime to visit all of the world's interesting places, being open to stories and lessons from other explorers is a wonderful way to experience other places, customs, and cultures.
Currently studying Medicine and Philosophy in Wuerzburg.
If I would not study this, I would probably have an atelier full of art and paintings, as I love to paint. I moved to Marseille this summer and will stay there for studying.
I love nature and prefer to see some nice lakes and beautiful landscapes rather than loud cities and full bars (though at some times they are quite nice too!)
I hate racism, fascism, sexism and nationalism, thats why I fight for tolerance as much as I can. I really like the idea of being a citizen of the world, there's no need for borders, flags and nationalities!
I love to experience colourfulness, in any way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think, everyone should show respect for others and their attitude and lifestyle. Being open minded and get to know people, who have a different way of seeing the world is important to me.
I generally trust people without knowing them which is kinda important for this project.
