About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just arrived in Buenos Aires (1.3.13). I already went to Montevideo, but now I`m back in B.A. to learn some spanish at school for maybe 2 weeks! Afterwards I`ll travel around South America hopefully for 6 month!!

ABOUT ME

It seems to be the point to make some advertising for myself ;) actually it doesn`t matters what I`ll tell you about me, you have to meet me... But let`s have a try...
I love to bugger around and have lots of fun but I also could discuss serious things (politics&economy, countries or people in conflicts or crises, life, dreams&targets...)
I`m very interested in getting know new people and their stories, to talk to them and hanging around together. I think that I`m uncomplicated, affable and for me it doesn`t matters what people think about my person. I try to do it my way and extract new experiences and impressions for myself.
I`ve got a girlfriend for 5 years now and we used to live together in a flat for about 3,5 years.
I`ve to wait for getting a place on university, so I became a nurse, afterwards I earned some money by working in a psychiatry.
Now I just want to travel around South America and spent my saved money ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to be too serious, you have to know who you are and what you want, cause life is a permanent progress and lots of things always change. On the other hand site keep your feet on the ground, watch out for bad things happen in the world and try to fix them!

Music, Movies, and Books

- nice German hip hop (with lots of linguistic jokes) but also old rock and new things that sounds good. Music culture here in South America is great.
- at the moment my favorite book is my low budget travel guide ;) but I used to read a lot of books in Germany (criminal stories, some philosophical stuff... it depends)
- I like watching films more than watching boring TV, there are lots of good films so its quite hard to say, but I`ll try. For example `city of god`,`reservoir dogs`,`pulp fiction`,`django`,`star wars`,`lord of the rings`,`skyfall`,`the godfather`....... their are many good ones (also made in Germany) but I wish sometimes to have more time.........

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made an `interrail-trip` through Europe for one month. This time was really interesting but to short, I start in Amsterdam - Lille - Paris - Normandy - Paris - Lyon - Geneva - Milan - Venice - Florence - Rom - Patras - Athens - Thessaloníki - Bucharest - Budapest - Vienna - Munich - back Home.
I also used to slept in a cove when I went backpacking for two weeks on Corsica, it was directly next to the sea.
I already went to many other places around the world, but I`ll tell you when we`ll meet ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I come from Germany, sure I could teach you German and tell you how life is going on their if you want to (for example special food, drinks but also the German point of view seeing things). I like to share my informations or experiences and also my knowledge about for example hobbies.
I already told that I`m learning some Spanish at school here in Buenos Aires. After this course I want to improve it by talking to locals when I`ll traveling around. I`m also interested in your culture and how you think about life ;)
