ABOUT ME

A uni student trying to lead a productive and versatile life, sometimes succeeding better than other times.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to treat everyone as I'd like to be treated myself.

Interests

Apart from traveling and foreign cultures, I love fashion! Fashion and current trends, as well as the fashion of the past decades interest me a great deal. I can spend hours just watching through fashion shows or window shopping. Too bad that student budget doesn't really allow you that many shopping sprees per annum.

I also like to do some sports occasionally. Especially tennis and ashtanga yoga, but also jogging and gym, plus snowboarding during the winter. If i had more money I'd like to try horseback riding again.

I am a pesco-vegetarian and try to support and find ecological options in other things as well. I have previously studied nutrition (among other things ;), so I aim to eat quite healthily, but I love food and chocolate too much to be too strict.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies and books are so numerous that it's impossible to give some kind of list. My newest favorite is Black Swan and I will love Sound of Music and Grease forever. I have always loved reading, sadly though during the school year there is not that much time for novels anymore. Sofi Oksanen, Sophie Kinsella, L.M. Montgomery, Siri Hustvedt and Alexandre Dumas are all equal and side by side in my bookshelf, however.

I don't know that much about music, I don't live and breathe it like some people, but I do like for example Lily Allen, Florence + the machine, Robyn etc. Also Reggae and Ska.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will always remember our trip to Asia with my friend as well as my au pair year in France. And I consider myself lucky to have gotten to love New York City, even though I've only been a couple of times there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to practise my language skills. I would be ready for a match of tennis anytime. Also jogging in company would be fun from time to time.
