About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hoping to find a place to stay for a couple of nights in Berlin. But beyond hoping to break into the exciting world of CS.

ABOUT ME

23 yo, currently living in the slightly dull town of Zug, Central Switzerland. Having finished my degree in French and German, I'm teaching English here, but still working out what to do with the rest of my life.

I read a lot. Drink tea. Listen to angsty female singers and read poncy French literature. Don't hate me.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
