ABOUT ME

i´m a very optimistic and positive person. i need harmony, good music and my friends around me. but i also like to discover things and places on my own! i think in life everything is about to find and live the "golden middleway"... if you call it like that in english, too! :p
i try to do always just what i want and what i feel is right! lets see, where i end up with that! ;)
besides that, just talk to me, get to know me and have your own opinion... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i'm in the lucky situation that i have been to great cities in the last months like boston, philly, new york city, chicago and d.c.!!!! and that i got to know amazing people there...
also the niagara falls in may 2009 were awesome and impressive!!!
and to see mexico, california and the grand canyon in july 2009 was just overwhelming!!!!

more than cities i love natural places! i love going to natural and national parks! i saw a lot of parks in the usa and a few in spain but my list is long and i want to visit much more!!!

one of the recent amazing things i have done: we were hiking in the great falls park in virginia - on the billy goat trail section A. oh my gosh - to hike on those high stone cliffs was so tiring and great in the same time! i loved it! and we had an high, awesome view over the river! :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

i would love to learn more spanish and could teach german and english! i would like to learn more about cooking and could teach a little bit of dance! ;) but other suggestions are welcome!

i like to learn different things and i´m open for new experiences...

the last experiment was a surf lesson in san diego last summer - awesome!!!
