Hendrikje Lange was born in beautiful Mecklenburg, but has been exploring other parts of the world for a while now. She did her BA in Freiburg where she studied Liberal Arts and Sciences majoring in Culture and History. There she has already learned how to think beyond disciplinary boundaries, now she is tackling thinking beyond borders. She is driven by an urge to understand how history and developments around the globe are connected (or not).

When not in uni, she has been active volunteering in Germany, France and Britain where she has done many things from being an arborist assistant to digging up slag and selling jumpers. She has completed a CELTA course in Liverpool and enjoys teaching English greatly as it is a wonderful way to get to know people from everywhere.
