Member of NFJD, Germany
Elected in 2010
After I completed my Bachelor in Polish and Englisch Studies in Dresden and Krakow, I decided to go "back"/"to"/"deeper into" Poland and I am currently working in the International Youth Meeting Centre in Krzyzowa, sadly only until June. I have no idea where I will be after Krzyzowa. Hobies: horse-riding, photography, poi, books in all shapes and colors, train tables. Something like my motto: "Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your actions drinkable" (freely adapted from Henry Ford).
