CURRENT MISSION

Explore the American Continent ;-)

ABOUT ME

Open-minded person, curious to meet new people and explore new places. I love a good conversation or discussion.
I am studying in Heidelberg in order to become a teacher one day. At the moment I spend a year abroad in the wonderful city of Montréal.
I'm a Christian but I always enjoy hearing about other faiths, too (or lack thereof).

PHILOSOPHY

Ein Tag ohne gelacht zu haben ist ein verlorener Tag.
La vie est belle.
Never stop dreaming.
Smile at the world and the world will smile back.

"If you're 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better,
I urge you to travel - as far and as widely as possible.
Sleep on floors if you have to.
Find out how other people live and eat and cook.
Learn from them - wherever you go."
(Anthony Bourdain)
- so true, and not only when you're 22!!
