About Me

CURRENT MISSION

PhD

ABOUT ME

I was born in the little town Graz in southern Austria, moved to Vienna when I was 18 and studied (for a loooong time) Social and Cultural Anthropology and German as a foreign language. I wrote my master thesis about Chinese women living in Vienna, so after that I took a chance to work as a German teacher at the East China Normal University in Shanghai. I stayed there for five months and then travelled a lot around China. Now I'm returning to Austria and then ... who knows?
I've lived in the USA for half a year when I was 16, I have travelled to Australia, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Cuba, lots of European countries and to Thailand.

PHILOSOPHY

try everything once, keep the balance, don't judge others, love yourself and share your love, be free and confident, think about your life from the perspective of the whole universe: it's nothing. think about it from your personal view: it's so great. enjoy.
