CURRENT MISSION

reading my way through an enormous amount of all time classics

ABOUT ME

I asked my friends to describe me with a few words. Here is, what they said:

Creative, open-minded, helpful, spontaneous, fun-loving, adventurous, imaginative, adroit, companionable, musically talented, assiduous, dexterous, amiable, with the right amount of craziness but underneath more calm and normal than she seems to be.

PHILOSOPHY

My first and most important instance of criticism is myself. It makes life easier, because I do not have to take at face value, what society and advertisement try to sell. On the other hand I tend to overthink my doings all the time. I demand from myself to only say and do what I can say and do with a clear conscience. Adding the fact, that I am only human and make mistakes all day long, I find myself in a lifelong learning process of becoming the truest to myself I can be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Might sound schoolmarmish, but I love the moment when somebody has a light-bulb-moment. And when I'm the one causing that moment and this moment starts inquisitiveness, it just makes me incandescently happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some simple four-handed pieces on the piano, how to make a delicious marshmellow topping or ratatouille. Furthermore you can choose from a variety of traditional German folk / christmas songs or swear words that I can teach.

I am always in the mood to learn something in another language and expand my skills in the kitchen. And I'm very thankful for any tip in slacklining or juggling.
