"Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures." - Lovelle Drachman ๐๐๐ I was born in Regensburg, Germany and grew up in a small town near Regensburg. When I was 18, I moved into my first own apartment and lived there for 3 years while going to nursing school. At the age of 21 I decided to give up my apartment, sold most of my furniture, quit smoking and headed to Australia - a country 15,000 kilometers away that I had never been to. I spent one year working & travelling there before I came back to Germany to live with my grandparents for a few months, then lived in Dublin (Ireland) for half a year and then moved to London to work as a flight attendant for a year. After being stuck in Germany due to covid for 8 months I moved to Iceland and worked there as a nurse for 2.5 years. After that I spent 15 months full-time travelling Africa & Asia and now Iโm currently living and working in New Zealand ๐ณ๐ฟ I've been a vegetarian since 2006 If you wanna find out more, here is my Instagram handle: annika.hrtl I'm an openminded and spontaneous person and I like people who don't take life too seriously but are also able to have empathy and listen actively.
