About Me edit

I am not what one would consider a typical person. I was born in Thailand but I am South African and German by birth. I am currently living in my fifth country (the UK) and have visited 17. My goal is to visit more than 30 countries in my lifetime. I have alternated between the german and english educational system since 1st grade and am living in my 13th home. When I was little i played with sand and yoghurt cups and had never even heard of Sesame Street till I was 14. When I was six I had to fly away from home to board in another country. By my sixth year at school I had visited 5 schools. By the time I was 9 i knew that I would be a designer and have stuck to that ever since. So one can say that my upbringing has been different. However, if different is whats brought me to where I am today, then different isn't so bad.
