About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

ABOUT ME

I grew up traveling around since both my parents work in development aid, and we so moved every 2-5 years which has instilled the traveling bug in me, and I have continued moving around on my own. After a year of volunteering for Fairtrade in Luxembourg, I studied Journalism, Media, and Cultural Studies in the UK. During my studies I spent a semester in Spain, and after having graduated earlier this year, am working in Peru in the communications department of a development aid program.

The constant moving and my parents have also made me a pretty big mix of cultures. My mom is German, my Dad Chilean and together with the vibes of the places I've been lucky enough to see a lot and am also subsequently fluent in German, Spanish, and English (my French is a bit rusty, though). And I still love to meet new people from all over the world and learn new things as often as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

"The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it"

My biggest temptations are traveling and discovering new people and places, so I like giving in to those temptations as often as I can!

In general I love building up beautiful memories, be it of something exciting like boarding down an untouched mountain alone or something simpler, like a great night with good food and interesting people.

Interests

I love volleyball, reading, music, swimming, snowboarding, yoga, traveling, talking, listening, windsurfing, dancing, the list goes on...
