My Inner European

Your Inner European is Italian!



Passionate and colorful.
You show the world what culture really is.



I saw this on nick's page (doray.nomadlife.org) and it seems quite interesting. So I am Italian even so I am actually German. :) Guess it's because of my passion for pasta and pizza and of course the good weather!

Some visits awaits…

I love traveling and visiting people but I also love to have visitors. Last year I traveled a lot and visit so many friends. And this year it looks like I will be the one who will welcome some good friends. First of all Uli and his family, the farmer from Namibia who guided us through Namibia’s beautiful countryside and fantastic wildlife, will visit us next week. Thank you so much for showing us the real Namibian culture!
We can’t wait to see you and show you our life. :)

My life so far...

Looking for a new apartment and the best thing I will move in with my boyfriend. So we just found a really nice, cute one and now we mostly spend the time in furniture stores, like IKEA and try not to loose too much money. I love to arrange an apartment.
Then I was at a great concert from my favorite singer this week. Yes, Xavier Naidoo himself was in Erfurt and I had an absolutely great time, just awesome!!! Xavier Naidoo is a German-born singer and songwriter of Indian and South African descent who sings in German and sometimes in English. His styles are very different and the concert was also diversified including R&B, Soul, Pop and Rock. Wow and you should hear his awesome soulful voice, absolutely addictive. b.t.w. he is very good looking too, probably it’s the mix of Indian, African and Europe. :)
I also went skiing in February and it was fun!! I love skiing the whole day and then going to the apres ski bars, singing stupid songs like “Anton aus Tirol”, drinking “Obstler” and of course dancing the whole night.
What else I’ve been up to. Ah inspiring English classes every week. Danny, our teacher, studies psychology and at the last class we talked about us and about our real potential and what we really want to do in life. After English class you feel you could everything do what you want. It’s good to have this in your life otherwise you just stuck at the things you are used to. In college and at my internship I was never this kind of person. But if you have your regular life, go to work at the same time and go home at the same time, you sometimes have to wake up and say stop this is not everything, you can do more and you can be more, more useful, more responsible and more passionate.
Now just one really nice note, Ming (mingbling.nomadlife.org) got an internship in Amsterdam and I am really happy because of that. She tried unsuccessfully to get one in Germany and now she will gonna be in Amsterdam, how cool is that!!
