The use of traveling is to regulate imagination with reality,
Samuel Johnson
and instead of thinking of how things may be, see them as they are.
I was born in beautiful Rostock on the Baltic Sea in 1979 and grew up with sea water, wind, sandy beaches and fish. Before I started working for a tourism company in 2017, I have been working as a freelance graphic designer since 2005. After 3 years in the company, I took a leave of absence and spent almost 2 years in Tanzania volunteering, traveling and teaching. I’ve been back in the same company since the beginning of 2022 and coordinate now our social projects in East Africa in a part-time position.
I have started my own NGO in Tanzania to support socially disadvantaged girls and women.
I recommend to everyone, at least once in a lifetime, to leave ones home country for a while to become familiar with another culture, language and customs. It really helps you to understand this world from another perspective and will certainly change you forever.
