Travelling
My current objective is to explore more of Europe, as it offers about as many different landscapes, people and cultures as parts of the world, which are farther afield, but you won't incidentally kill the planet while getting there. Especially fascinating about European cultures is how they have in common (compared to other, more distant countries), but how close they seem at the same time in consideration of other aspects. Based on that it gets even more interesting, when you think about how European Union is doing its best to unite the 500 Million people of Europe, based on the assumption of some common interests.
As you might have already guessed I'm very interested in history, politics and philosophy. It brings great joy to me to have discussions about current affairs or generally controversial topics with my friends.
Sadly that did not play a role in my law studies. That's the reason why I decided to take a break and explore France. Afterwards I started studying Urbanism at the Bauhaus Uni in Weimar, which is an extraordinarily interesting field to study, as it is just at the interface of engineering, politics and municipal administration.
In 2015/2016 I a spend a year in New Mexico, USA as an exchange student at an high school, I greatly enjoyed living with my host family, having three siblings (after growing up as an only child) and playing basketball as well as debating with the Speech&Debate team.
During my time off I'm organizing FridaysForFuture demonstrations as well as doing other performance and art activism around the topics of climate justice, antifascism, urban politics and other topics.
In the past year I've learned to appreciate cooking, as a great activity to clear one's mind as well as it is a lot of fun to do with friends. I'd love to help prepare meals, especially since it's nice way to explore the cuisine of different countries.
I love cats (my family in Germany has got three of them) and also get along with dogs pretty well. As I've also spent a fair amount of my childhood in the cattle sheds of the surrounding farms, I also know how to handle different kinds of animals.
