Music, Movies, and Books
I do love music and books. It's talking with somebody you don't know. I like to read classic novels like Pride and Prejudice or Faust from Goethe or almost every book from Paulo Coelho - but I've never tried the Alchemist, because i don't like the desert, I'm feeling at home at the sea and in rainforests or simply the sky.
But I'm also really into books that I can learn a lot from - Daring Greatly by Brené Brown or textbooks about psychology or communication. Right now I am reading a book of poems, that's new to me but I really like it. And of course Fantasy - not SiFi, cause I'm not a real fan of aliens - I know not in every SiFi story there are aliens, but in a lot. I prefer Eragon, Lord of the rings and the stories of Walter Moers.
I also watch movies. I have a friend who's obsessed with movies, so he tries to teach me the most important ones. I prefer life-loving, open, heart-warming films with a twist like Serial (Bad) Weddings or Big Fish or Eat Pray Love.
I am a deep lover of music. I do music if I have the time to. I listen to everything - I know quite a lot of people saying that - but it's true. I like Sons of the East, Jeremy Loops, ACDC, The Cat Empire, Frank Sinatra, The Lumineers.. and many many more.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I decided to be myself and to teach myself how to play the guitar. And I've been at a concert of ACDC in Berlin, that was pretty amazing!
Teach, Learn, Share
I was in a business school in Austria, made my final exams and startet to study teaching profession for German and Geography. But that wasn't the right thing for me. So I decided to take another way and I went to Spain for Volunteering Service.
This experience showed me that I am a social person and I looked for my next adventure: being an AuPair in Ireland. Right now I am studying to get a social worker. I love the combination of psychology, sociology, rights and everything else that makes life understandable and easier. And now I'm here to teach, learn and share.
