About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding friends all over the world

ABOUT ME

Hey i m a german girl who loves to travel. Right now i m doing my semester abroad in Shanghai, China. I studied African Studies and Chinese in my undergrad. I am open minded, sometimes a little crazy, funny and hand-tame :).I ve already have been to a lot of places around the world so we are used to cultural differences and new experiences. Looking forward to all these things, always with a smile.

PHILOSOPHY

No se sabe si algo es bueno hasta que se lo pone a prueba

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
Nelson Mandela
