P E R S O N A L

  • I find myself very much interested in traveling Scandinavian
    countries and the Finnish language. I am a huge fan of the European student mobility programs and consider my personal experiences during my study time in Sweden and Finland some of the most valuable ones.
  • I enjoy working with exchange students and am grateful to have close friends in many parts of Europe.
     
  • If I would have to pick a wisdom quote, I would chose one a good friend once told me many years ago:

    “Libre verbum est” – “Free is a verb.”
