ABOUT ME

First heyyyy, I'm Hel, born and risen up in Tallinn, Estonia, but then lived a while in Frankfurt, Germany, inbetween I have lived as well close to London, in England and in the Pyrenee Mountains in Spain.
In 2012/2013 I was studying for my Erasmus at the Yildiz Teknik Üniversitesi in Istanbul, Turkey.
Then, the summer of 2013 I spend in Madrid as being an au-pair in a spanish family. Autumn 2013 until february 2014 I was living back in Frankfurt and then travelling for a month (march 2014) in Oceania! :)
From march 2014 until september 2014 I was living in beautiful and elegant Paris and was fully enjoying every minute there!
October 2014 I moved to Marburg an der Lahn in Germany and studied there a mastersprogramme of Democracy and Governance. In February 2016 I started my (second) Erasmus in Athens . Since September 2016 I moved to Izmir in Turkey, where I am finished up my thesis and was working as an aupair. :) After spending 3 years in Brussels, Belgium, worked in my homecountry Tallinn, now based in Cairo, Egypt.

I'm tall and blonde and I adore languages.
Until now I have traveled quite a lot, just to see how beautiful the world is. The travelplans now only continue and it's so hard not to get on going somewhere on every weekend. I'd rather be only travelling. :D

This is as far as the planing goes.
Let's see what the future brings.

PHILOSOPHY

If You don't like something, change it!
If You can't change it, change the way You think about it!

The difference between the unattainable and the attainable lies in a person's determination.

Positive thoughts, positive actions, positive results!

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

In the end we only regret the chances we didn't take! :)

Interests
