Position: Actress (Tatort commissioner etc.) from Kassel

Experience abroad:

1979: USA

The decisive factor was that I financed this trip with the money I had earned myself during the vacations and went through with it. I was 19 years old, had never been so far and for so long, had organized everything myself, hostel in NYC, Greyhound bus to San Francisco, Yosemite Park, all the way to the Niagara Falls near Montreal in Canada...

I would advise anyone to go abroad, it opens your horizons, you practice meeting other people, languages, cultures, find like-minded people, make friends, travel with others for a while, be self-reliant, independent and free - it feels great! An unforgettable experience for me. Plus, you do it again and again afterwards if you can and carve out time!
