Skiing
Besides math, skiing is the best thing on earth! Since I was 3 years old, my parents went skiing with me in a small town called Kastelruth. It must have been around that time, that I discovered my passion for skiing and its relaxing environment.
Over the years, I imroved my skiing skills and it happened by change that I found out about the winter sport courses offered by the Humboldt University of Berlin. After completing some of their courses, I had the opportunity to become a skiing teacher at the DSLV (Deutscher Skilehrerverband) in 2012. Since then, I try to supervise at least one of the skiing courses of the HU Berlin student sports association each winter. Those 1-week skiing trips are designed for students of the three Berlin universities, but also international students are welcome to join. We are usually a group of 40-50 students and 4-6 instructors for all levels from beginners to advanced skiers. Feel welcome to join us in the next winter!
