Already in her childhood, growing up near the borders to Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, she dreamed of traveling the world, learning foreign languages, and meeting people from different cultures. She started with studying Latin, followed by English, French, Spanish, and later Italian and Dutch. Early on she decided to make her passion her profession.
