From Homesickness to Wanderlust

From Homesickness to Wanderlust

As a child, I often felt homesick. Sometimes, I would cancel sleepovers at my friends‘ houses at the last minute because, in the end, I preferred to sleep at home. Even today, I remember these moments vividly. I was filled with shame.

The Land of Lakes & Volcanoes

I am convinced that every person could write a book about their life. A human life is full of beginnings, endings and so much in between. With the stories I’ve experienced in Nicaragua over the last few months alone, I would have enough material for a book.
