About Me

I am a 23 years old International Economics student who just came back from 9 months in latin america. About me... hm what can I tell. I love to make fun of everything (included me), love to be among a lot of people but also enjoy doing stuff for myself like yoga. in general I would say that i am constantly confused about my own life but somehow I managed to achieve everything I wanted to do :P

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To live for 6 months in Colombia without speaking spanish in the beginning. When I arrived at the airport one german women asked me where I will stay the next 6 months and if we should share a taxi to the city center that was about one hour away. I didnt planed where to stay and just wanted to go to the center to find a hostel for the beginning. Without any word of spanish- difficult. Also that the city center in colombian citys are mostly the most dangerous spots (I found out later). Dont ask me how I suvived :D

Another story of my life: My first solo trip was when I turned 19 and decided spontaneouly to book a super cheap flight to Thailand. Arriving at the hostel, I was super exceted and even though I had the worst cheatlag I ever had I was super happy and decided to take a small bus 3 hours away (and old greapy man in my hostel recommended me this unknown beach). I arrived there and I was impressed by the beach. Besides the fact that I didnt bring much money, just enough to buy some street food and water. I asked the local people when and where the last bus back to my town is (I was super proud of how organized and german I am that I was asking in advance). The first person told me, that there are no buses back. I didnt belive him and asked further. The answeres were all completly different. So I enjoyed the sunset and then walked along the street in order to find a bus. What turned out to be problematic because after two hours waiting there was no bus. Since I didnt have enough money for a taxi and didnt have acell phone at this point in my life, I was sitting sad at the street and strated crying. An old lady with almost no english told me she will bring me to the doctor. She was my only chance to go somewhere else so I went to her car. It turned out she was taling about her daughter (not doctor) who was my age. I ended up stayed for two days at her familys place :D
