About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay positive, stay committed!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Tübingen, Southern Germany, and spend a very happy and satisfied childhood there.
When I was old enough to attend school, my parents moved to Überlingen (Lake Constance). There I attended school for thirteen years with all ups and downs a teenager could have.
Afterwards I started to fulfil my civil service in Hagen, Germany, where I had the chance to work with - and learn from children with disabilities.
After more than a year in South Africa, working for an orphanage in the township Khayelitsha near Cape Town, I studied "International Business and Social Sciences" in Kleve. Right now I'm writing my Bachelor Thesis and moved to Berlin as I will start my masters degeree here.

I am a very interested and open-minded person and I see myself as very friendly and cheerful... and I'm fairly glad that my friends see me in the same way! :-)

Uhhh... it's so difficult to describe myself in some sentences!
...probably it's much easier to find out, when we meet! :-D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working and living for more than a year in the township Khayelitsha, South Africa, shaped my really much.
I was allowed to see the world from a different perspective by having never-forgettable encounters with fantastic and inspiring people.
I learned a lot about life and myself and I'll never forget the enrichments that I was allowed to experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't want to determinate what particular I would like to learn or what I am able to teach because there is so much so see and experience out there...

My 'affairs of the heart' are: conscious consumption (fair-trade), alternative economy (micro-credits, basic income), guitar playing, cooking Swabian food...
this are things I could share.

I'm curious about what you'll bring along! ^^
