About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the world and not only see the hotspots but also broaden my horizon by meeting interesting people and experience their culture and maybe get friends for a lifetime :-)

ABOUT ME

I'm a young, straightforward and open minded woman, that likes to laugh a lot and takes the life not always from the serious side. ;-)
I'm spontanious and like to learn and experience new things.
I'm optimistic, extroverted and communicativ.
I love to get to know new people, hear stories about their interesting lifes and exchanging views of all possible themes.

PHILOSOPHY

Sorry only in german, but if you're interested in the translation I will send you one or explain it in person. It's a joke about how important communication is!
------------------------------------------------------

Grosser Aufruhr im Wald: Es geht das Geruecht um, der Baer habe eine Todesliste.
Alle fragen sich wer denn nun da drauf steht.
Als erster nimmt der Hirsch allen Mut zusammen und geht zum Baeren und fragt ihn: "Sag mal Baer, steh ich auch auf deiner Liste?"
"Ja," sagt der Baer "auch dein Name steht auf der Liste."
Voll Angst dreht sich der Hirsch um und geht. Und wirklich, nach 2 Tagen wird der Hirsch tot aufgefunden.
Die Angst bei den Waldbewohner steigt immer mehr und die Geruechtekueche um die Frage, wer noch auf der Liste steht, brodelt. Der Keiler ist der erste dem der Geduldsfaden reisst und der den Baer aufsucht um ihn zu fragen, ob er auch auf der Liste steht.
"Ja" antwortet der Baer "auch du stehst auf der Liste".
Veraengstigt verabschiedet sich der Keiler vom Baeren. Und auch ihn fand man nach 2 Tagen tot auf. Nun bricht die Panik bei den Waldbewohnern aus.
Nur der Hase traut sich noch den Baeren aufzusuchen.
"Baer, steh ich auch auf der Liste?"
"Ja, auch du stehst auf der Liste"

"Kannst du mich da streichen?"

"Ja klar, kein Problem"

=> Kommunikation ist alles!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am very bad in limiting myself to one amazing thing I've done or seen. Life itself is amazing!!
------------------------------------------------------

-Switzerland. The sunset at the boarder of the lake in my hometown Zug is breathtaking.

-Australia. Unlimited Bungee Jumping in Cairns was a cool thing I've done in 2002/2003.

-Argentina and Brasil. The Iguazu Waterfalls are really impressive! (2010)

-South Georgia and Antarctica. 21days Expedition Cruise - Once in a lifetime experience! (2010)

-Chile and Argentina. Patagonia (Torres del Paine in Chile / El Chalten in Argentina) - Greatest area for hikers (2010)
-Argentina. Paso Jama from Salta to San Pedro de Atacama. Just amazing! (2010)
-Chile. San Pedro de Atacama. Observation of the sky tour with a great french guy and his chilean woman. You will look different at the stars after that ;-) (2010)

-Bolivia. 4day Lipez + Salar de Uyunitour. Great Landscape and so different. (2010)
-Bolivia. Mines of Potosi. More depressing and frightening than amazing. (2010)
-Bolivia. Chacaltaya 5300m. Taxiride up was easy, hike up the last meters were really tough. You won't get better views than from here. (2010)

-Peru. Cotahuassi Canyon. Coldest overnight busride I ever experienced, from Arequipa and then you arrive in a really untouristic little town with waterfalls nearby. (2010)
-Peru. Laguna 69 - 1 day hike from Huaraz. Just breathtaking the valley before you hike the last part up and also the lagune is beautiful. (2010)

-Ecuador. Galapagos Islands - you will never see animals closer than here! (2010)
