Experiences with strong impact in my life

 

  • Being world champion in Handball with the age of 18

  • The fall of the wall (GDR – GER) and coping with a completely new contradicting culture, while staying in the same city and living in the same street

  • Stopping my studies (in my home country) in order to study something completely new (in another country) without support and while working, because I wanted to change my way of living, my direction

  • Being married with an Iranian/ Austrian world traveller. We share the same passion about other countries and cultures as well as we learn from each other what it means coming from a different culture.

  • Building a coaching business in Iran, where this word was more or less unknown and everyone was suggesting me to change into a trading business, but I stayed positive and happily succeeded

  • Becoming a mother of (meanwhile) two lovely and also challenging girls, they make me grow, while I try to grow them
