ABOUT ME
I am an open-minded, curious realist on the quest for joy. I am a dreamer, who is pretty good at realizing her dreams. I am pretty high-energy and continuously love to learn and explore new things
I love spending lots of time in nature - hiking, swimming or climbing through stunning terrains. I'm also really passionate about making art, welding, designing ideas and projects, and photography.
In summary, I'm an inquiring girl and CS helps me with satisfying my inquiring mind, getting to know people from all over the world and exploring their cultures and enjoying their stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I climbed the vulcano Gunung Rinjani in Indonesia. That was probably the most exhausting thing I've ever done in my life. Less oxygen, barely water, little energy and a lot to carry. I managed to exceed my personal limit and convinced myself that I can do a lot more than I presume.
When we reached the summit we were rewarded with fantastic views over Lombok and the crater lake, while the sun was setting.
It was amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am great at motivating people to do things that they usually avoided, some call me a social organizer or an adventure catalyst. I like telling stories as colorful and theatrical as possible to make people see and feel what I experienced ;)
