Who am i?

They call me "Jana"

Who am I? This is a question I ask myself a lot. This is the story about my journey to find my true self. But first let me introduce myself a bit.

Hi, my name is Jana. I am 23 years old. In summer 2020 I decided to leave the country I was born in and moved to a beautiful island in the atlantic ocean, 4000 km far away from the place I spent my whole life in. This is how my journey started.

 

I was born on 12 th of March in 1998 in Herford, a cute town in the northwest of Germany. My mother is half german and half russian, my father is russian, so technially I am 3/4 russian and 1/4 german. My family moved to Germany from Kazakhstan three years before I was born. So I grew up in a russian family with the russian mentality. I really had no connection with the german mentality and as I got older I felt more and more that I don’t belong to this place. I went to Kindergarten and school like every other child but as I got older I really had no idea what I am going to do with my life. I felt bad about being someone that has not a real plan for its life. So I kept studying to at least do something useful. In college made a formation to a comercial assistant for foreign languages. And I kind of felt in love with the Spanish language. So when I had the opportunity to go abroad for an internship I went for it. And this is how I landed on Fuerteventura in 2018, the place that changed my life forever. I really felt in love with this island, the way of how the people live their life there and the life next to the ocean. 

And as the end of my internship came closer and closer I really didnt want to return to Germany. I felt like there is more in this life for me so after my college I decided to return and two years after my intership I can call this place home.

The underwater world

I really love the ocean, swimming, snorkeling, diving and freediving. I could spent hours in the water, just looking at the underwater world with my goggles. Soon I will do my Freediving licence so more about it will come soon…

Traveling


I am a traveler! Yes, I am addicted to traveling. I have already been to 16 countries and 10 islands. And there is so much more world to discover…

sports

I love sports! Next to watersports I love to go hiking, go to the gym and do Yoga. In Germany I also practiced 3 years of Kickboxing.
