What has been your favourite travel destination so far and where would you definitely like to go?

My favourite travel destination so far has been South Korea. The country is simply beautiful, the food is very tasty and the people are super friendly.

Where I still want to go is Bhutan. I love mountains and nature. Due to the strict entry restrictions, it is still very untouched.

What was your dream job as a child?

When I was a child, I wanted to be an inventor and invent a Lego sorting machine so that I wouldn't always have to look for my Lego bricks.

History has always fascinated me. Especially the ancient world is an interesting time period. The evolution of technical and social progress is something I always enjoy reading about.

What would you get up for in the middle of the night?

To eat something delicious like lasagne and discuss with friends.
