ABOUT ME

Hey people! I'm Sarah! Grew up in France, American Mum and German Dad, I really like being above all in an international environment and meeting people from all over the world who can teach me about their culture.

I have now been living in Berlin for over 3 years. Some people call it being settled, I like to call it having found the city where I belong. So why look elsewhere? ;)

I am currently finishing my master and just started working for a tourism company so if you need any info or insider tips about the city, Id be happy to share them with you.

I am the type that
Values 5-7 very close friends (rather than 30 acquaintances. Fuck that seriously!). I will cherish though those few friendships until my death.
I prefer to be alone than in bad company
Likes going to off the beaten track countries

I like

People who care about the environment and food wastage
Curiosity
Good cooks, food mmmmmm =)
Making the most of the present (rather than being nostalgic or excited about something to come)
People who do what they want to do rather than what their parents or society wants them to do
French sarcastic humour

I don't like

Bankers
Capitalism
Public kissing
Being materialistic (as I feel with little people could still be happy but we always want more and more)
Hypocrisy!!!! I noticed one feature amongst all my girl friends is their complete honesty and not giving a shit about what people think.

I want to learn more about buddhism. I believe its a good way to live life wisely.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others like you would want to be treated
Its cheesy but I like the Latin phrase Carpe Diem, seize the day=)
