ABOUT ME

Hey there,

After graduating from school with a university entrance diploma I have spent nine months in Canada for a work and travel stay. Afterwards I started studying Economics,I visited my sister for a three week roadtrip in New Zealand. Currently I am spending on academic exchange year at UMass Amherst.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working and Travelling in Canada for half a year by now completly on my own was pretty decent. But I am also really enjoying my stay at UMass.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how translate Latin, I'm pretty good at that. I doubt, that it'll help you at some point but I could show you how to do it. By now I can also tell a bit about volleyball and economics.
