Back in Berlin
ABOUT ME
All about me: OK! So far: Born 'n raised in Berlin, Germany. Enjoyed happy youth, went to high-school and stuff. I used to play a lot of basketball and did many others sports, I have also always been politically active during school and college though I couldn't decide for a party to join yet. I love going out, party and meet new people. I travelled a lot so far, I had the awesome opportunity to do an exchange high school year to Pennsylvania, where I lived with a Latter Day Saint family- which was a very interesting experience coming from a rather progressive and not very religious background. I am currently still enrolled in college (my mayor is industrial engineering) - but I have been traveling for 1.5 years now (German University is for free :) )I mainly choose my mayor because I am very interested in economics and I also wanted to get involved with renewable energy systems. During college I have travelled so far to Ecuador, Morocco, all around Europe, studied in Hoboken, NJ, USA for one year and then Canada, BC, where I lived and worked in Vancouver and Whistler. Now I'm back in Berlin and HOSTING!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Physically or mentally? :-)

Actually, I always loved to teach and share knowledge. I jobbed as a tutor for economic politics in college for undergrads. I am also giving private tutoring lessons in English, German, Physics and Math since I am about 16.
