CURRENT MISSION Relax. Breathe. Read a million books. ABOUT ME Hey folks, I am a graduate of Middle Eastern studies, working in Berlin as a project manager for international development projects, a passionate traveller (keen on exploring specifically those not-so-touristic corners of the globe), and fascinated by foreign languages. I enjoy being outside, spending time with inspiring and entertaining people, travelling, making new friends, cooking vegan food, reading, watching films, listening to music, playing the piano, cycling, sailing, going for walks, going on roadtrips, sitting around campfires, listening to people play the guitar, drinking wine on the beach (legacy of my life in France), arts, photography, poetry, ecology, sustainability, spirituality, yoga, and connecting with people over shared interests and convictions. PHILOSOPHY There is a greater plan behind everything

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Slept under the stars in the Saharan desert. One of the purest and most intense experiences of my life, cannot wait to do it again.
Teach, Learn, Share
This is actually my life motto. Teaching: I love teaching the languages that I speak and sharing tips for vegan nutrition. Learning: would love to learn every single language in the world (most of all Maltese, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Finnish, Hungarian, Greek, ...). On top of that, I want to learn everything about your culture and religion, what you appreciate most in a new place, a new person, and what comes to your mind first thing in the morning. Sharing: everything that there is to share. From night-long conversations about politics, religion or the meaning of life, a good meal, a handshake, or the beauty of a moment captured in an exchange of glances. ...
My Interests
Foreign languages and linguistics, cultures, politics, wildlife, food, music, religion, maintaining a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, getting to know people from all over the world and getting in touch with the local population when visiting a place.
