CURRENT MISSION

...mich durch einen Dschungel von Wörtern zu kämpfen!

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about art and writing! Most likely you'd find me wandering around, exploring museums and galleries, or sitting in cafes, reading books and writing. Also, I love music and theatre, enjoy good food and traveling! I would describe myself as laid back, open-minded, positive, tolerant ... and always up for new adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

"The true test of a first-rate mind is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas at the same time."
F. Scott Fitzgerald
