About Me
I love all things psychological and spiritual. I constantly work on becoming the best version of myself, therefore I read tons of psychology and self-improvement books and in 2016 became a certified yoga teacher. If you tried to define me by one song, it would be "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, to which I will dance anytime it's on. I like a good laugh and I'm a huge fan of British comedy, especially their stand-up comedians and panel shows. If I want to make someone happy, I'll cook for them. Recently, I've discovered vegan cuisine and have since compley switched to it. I'm a volleyball supporter and have been to numerous tournaments all over Europe following my favourite local clubs or national teams. Travel is, of course, high on the list of my favourite things to do, with trekking trips as my preferred passtime.
