Description

About me - I'm German-Australian, currently living in Brussels, Belgium, where I work on EU-funded projects dealing with migration, integration and (political) participation. I am addicted to spending time in nature, love all sorts of sports, especially hiking, tennis and boxing (yes!!), and have started indoor climbing (still a beginner). But above all, I love being inspired by meeting people from different cultures and countries and connect through shared interests and deep conversations.

What I'm looking for - Now that it has become easier to travel again, I am keen to (re-)discover Palestine (and more countries - I am impatiently waiting to discover parts of Central and South America!:) ). I started learning Arabic a few months ago and really want to practise. I'd also be very happy to share my knowledge of languages (DE/EN/FR/ES) with others and help out with your projects in whatever capacity may be useful for you.
