I am so incredibly grateful for you, Nele! You made this year truly unforgettable, and every trip we took together (Seattle, Cannon Beach and everything in/around Portland) was filled with fun and amazing memories. Your inspiration, as well as your emotional and physical support, mean the world to me. Thank you for everything! And of course, I’m still really excited for our upcoming trips – especially for Las Vegas and Coldplay!
A huge thank you also goes to you, Katarina! You’ve always supported me through our monthly conversations with your kind, sincere, and honest words, and you’ve reaffirmed what I’m doing. Thank you for everything!

This year has been one of the best (and craziest) of my life. From stepping out of my comfort zone to making incredible friendships, I’m beyond grateful for every experience. Thank you to everyone who was part of my journey—you’ve made New York feel like home. Here’s to lifelong memories and the next adventure! And to Julia—my partner in crime, bakery-hopping buddy, and one of the best people I’ve met here—thank you for making this year even more special. From our endless laughs to our deep talks, I wouldn’t have wanted to experience this without you. Love you! ❤️

A tip if you’re often in New York or whenever you’re there, try the Broadway lottery. If you win you might get lucky to get amazing seats. I won the lottery multiple times by now and the seats were amazing each time. One time was truly special, because I won front row seats for SIX. I was so close to the stage and be able see the actors up close was a unique moment. And that all for just $45!!!

This is your time to become special for your own joy. Whatever you are doing, do it for you. The perfect time is now and no one can give it back to you, when you are wasting it. Use every chance, take the challenge, face your fear, be honest to yourself, love and be confident with yourself- do not pretend to be, you will always lie to yourself and this can be even more toxic than to get lied to from another person. You are amazing the way you are and you are the author of your own story- so don’t waste pages with to much negativity. Fill the pages with a great development!

An unforgettable moment that I would like to share in the yearbook was the day I arrived in a country and suddenly had the feeling that anything new was possible. It was a mixture of excitement and a touch of overwhelm when I realized that I was embarking on an adventure that would change my life forever. I was particularly touched by the incredible hospitality of the people, who immediately welcomed me like family. I will never forget this warmth and openness and remember it every time I think back to my arrival.
