About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to stay on the planet. but only because i have to. i'd rather be elsewhere.

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy, young, healthy, artsy, broad-minded and open-hearted student of Secondary Education who loves to play music.

After graduating from Grammar School in 2008 I spent a year in the US as an AuPair, which was really great. I now go to school in Bern, the capital of Switzerland.

I would love to travel much more than I actually do, but you know, it costs money that poor students usually don't have... :/

PHILOSOPHY

"I think the main reason for living in this world is discovery." - James Dean

I'm sure that people only can broaden their minds and know who they really want to be and, especially, become that person, after they have made the experience of being away.
"Away" can not be defined in miles or hours, it just means you need to let go of what you have and what you're used to. You will automatically reach your own boundaries and only after you've come clean with yourself you will be ready to settle, be it in the place where you came from or elsewhere. Discover the world, discover different faces of yourself!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the books by Nick Hornby. He's great.
As for music... I love The Fray, OneRepublic, James Morrison, Jack's Mannequin, Meese, Something Corporate, Colbie Caillat, Daniel Merriweather, Gavin DeGraw, Jack Johnson, Jamie Cullum, Sara Bareilles, yeah that's just a summary.
Movies: I'll watch pretty much anything that's somehow cute, funny and romantic, but definitely not only. I like some action too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seriously, I think the fact that I left home at the age of 19 to spend a year across the Atlantic with a family I didn't know, without even worrying about it was the most amazing thing I could have done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach happiness. I'm really good at emotional stuff :)

Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Tunisia, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
