rollercoaster ride

is it possible to be making the most out of every single minute in one place while feeling like all you're doing is waiting for the days to go by so you can go home...? I guess it is...

My Photo
Name: sarita
Location: Switzerland

THIS IS: a personal logbook, capturing experiences, rencontres, thoughts and ideas; a way to stay in touch with family and friends, letting them know where I am, what I'm doing and how I feel I AM: a swiss farm girl, about to finish my studies at the Graduate the Institute of International Studies in Geneva, been living in India and just came back from working in Spain, coordinating AIESEC in Spains projects. I LIKE: my family, cats, Lindor chocolate, books that make me forget the world around me, connecting with people, experiencing other cultures, going out of my comfort zone, playing around with html, getting hugged, drinking milk coffee, meeting new interesting people, tea with honey, acting on my gut feeling, early mornings and late nights, talking to friends and living life consciously I DON'T LIKE: if you don't remember me, coca-cola, feeling inefficient, confrontation, lost opportunities, zero-sum games.
