Bio

I'm a midwife turned translator who lived as an expat in China for six years, communicating in three different languages – German, English, and Chinese – on a daily basis. Living in Asia has certainly broadened my horizon and taught me a thing or two about cultural differences and how closely they're related to language. I care for the environment and have a deep love for the ocean. Being close to it, on it (preferably on a sailing boat) or in it (preferably in scuba gear) always makes me happy. And I try to protect it and learn as much as I can about its fascinating ecosystems.

I'm passionate about

The environment, global women's health, languages, dancing, scuba diving, sailing, marine biology, learning new things

An idea worth spreading

More people should go diving to see the wonders of the underwater world, learn to appreciate our oceans, and protect them.
