I was born and raised in Munich, studied there and partly in London, and since autumn 2019, I have been living in Palermo.
Apart from reading, culture and learning languages, other hobbies and interests of mine are exploring cities, cooking, enjoying nature, and fashion.
I am an open-minded, cheerful, ambitious and social person, who loves taking on new challanges and meeting new people.
In addition to my work as freelancer, I teach English classes for children at the Cambridge Academy in Palermo and throughout my studies, I have been working as a waitress in an Italian restaurant.
