CURRENT MISSION

I am currently in Calgary, Canada, studying at the UofC as an exchange student!!

ABOUT ME

While many of my relatives wanted me to become a chef, since they had seen me playing in our garden with my little brother, mixing herbs and sand to juices and cakes, for me it was clear soon:
I will study chemistry!
So I came to Vienna (Austria), a great, multifaceted, cultural city. The great time of the first semesters flew by. Although I can say gladly that I really appreciate living and studying in Vienna, at the University of Technology, for me it has always been a dream and an absolute must to spend a semester abroad! And that’s why I came to Calgary, Canada! Living the dream ^^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It is quite difficult to choose one impressive moment I had in my life, but let’s have an example:
I was once at the European North Cape in Northern Norway.. we went to bed at 4 am after a nice evening in the middle of nowhere. It was July, so there was still daylight.. because of this unusual diurnal rhythm we were not tired at all. We lay there - everybody with open eyes! Some minutes later we decided to get back to the seashore. We were completely alone, blue sky, a little wind, and there they were: lots of beluga whales just in front of us, extremely close. It was the first time for us to see them, but nobody took a photo – we were just watching them fascinated without a word..
