About Me

ABOUT ME

Hi,
I live in Düsseldorf in Germany with my lovely family: my husband Andreas and our the daughters Sophia (*May 2016), Emma (* November 2018) and Philina (* July 2020).
I am a teacher for the subjects German, Math and Psychology.
I am open-minded and love thinking and talking to other people. I a€™m interesting in other cultures. I love travelling, but hadn'€™t had a lot of time for this - a thing that have to change!!!!

So, I am looking forward meeting some interesting people and see countries from a insider-side. It's more interesting than from the tourism-perspective.

PHILOSOPHY

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Mistakes are often the best teachers.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading books and watching film I have to think about twice after (not because I'm too stupid ;-) )
I like to discuss about it with friend. It should develop my life, change my point of view or my understanding of life.

I love listening to blues, rock, heavy metal and classical music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- My life!

- I mountaineered mountains in Switzerland. Fantastic was to see all the glaciers that seem to be untouched. The formations were so beautiful. As I jumped over some crevasse I felt so small and committed. I felt the power of nature. That was amazing.

Some year later I was shocked how the glaciers changed. They became smaller and I saw how vulnerable nature is. We have to pay attention!

Teach, Learn, Share

You cannot not teach - and so: you couldn’t not be taught.

Be open-minded and share your knowledge. Knowledge is power, it is a gift you have to share!
