CURRENT MISSION

Meet people, travel places and have a good time.

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 year old German, just finished my studies and am now looking for internships to bridge the gap until next year, which is when I will hopefully be starting my post-grad program.

I am interested in creating and observing arts in the broadest and narrowest sense, listening to heaps of music (this range is equally diverse...), playing the guitar and practicing the sport of rugby.

Last year, I spent my time in Sydney, Australia due to an internship with Amnesty International. After finishing, I made my way up the east coast and finally flew into NZ for four weeks.

Two years ago, I spent my exchange in Hong Kong; a stay that was followed by a two month trip through South East Asia - a part of the world I lost my heart to. I am therefore trying to find more beauty in order to get it back :)

I love my friends, Belgian beer and people that share my vision of a relaxed life.

I don't like stereotypes (you see, we Tshermanz sommtaimes haff it ferry difficalt...;)), cocky people and raisins.
