About Me

Hello!
I'm a creative, young student from Hamburg, majoring in Japanese Studies. From this September onwards I am working and living as a volunteer in in a kindergarten in Hiroshima-shi until August 2019.
I love arts, learning languages and sports.
But generally I can get enthusiastic about almost anything. So I want to meet people, visit a variety of places and try out as many things as possible.
In this case: experience the many different facettes of Japan.

I am a timid person, so I might be shy in the beginning, being unsure which boundaries to cross, but that never stays for long and I'm becoming more social, too.
Basically I am an openminded, funny and friendly person and open for new.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can enjoy most music, except for maybe rap or too heavy metal, but on my own, I mostly listen to the very peppy indie - pop genre because it gives awesome summer vibes.

-fantasy and teenage/young adult genre, FAV: Graceling Realm and Raven Cycle
- manga

-animated movies, generally fantasy etc.
-american crime series

Teach, Learn, Share

-Languages: I can always offer German(and depending on the place maybe English) but as long as I visit other countries speaking their language would make more sense, so I'll gladly learn them!

-Arts(a lot, from painting to crafting) I'd love to share, tho I'm self taught, and am always open to learn more about it from others.

-I love music, but I ain't particularly good in anything related to it, neither knowledge nor playing instruments, but I'd love to expand my knowledge or just enjoy/make music together!
Whenever I can't play, I could always sing along passionately :P

-Cooking! It would be awesome to take different dishes home from wherever I go!
(I've only recently started practicing anything beyond noodles or frozen food, but I'm learning eagerly ✌ )
