1) THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
 I finished my film and fell in love. Happened at the same time.
 .
 .
 2) THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
 The downside of the above mentioned: I live more, work less, and constantly feel guilty about it.
 Oh, and I broke my ankle, but that’s ok.
 .
 .
 3) YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
 That we make an end to animal exploitation and factory farming – for the sake of us, the animals and the environment.
 .
 .
 4) YOUR BIGGEST WORRY FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
 Climate change, overpopulation, waste of water/ plastic/ resources/ energy, the rise of right wing parties, you name it …
 But I try to rather turn these worries into action – on my little scale and as far as I can. We humans were capable of creating this mess, and we are also capable of sorting it out. .
 .
 5) A CONTEMPORARY WOMAN YOU CURRENTLY ADMIRE?
 Jane Goodall. And all the “Chicks on Boards” out there.
 .
 .
 6) A ONE-SENTENCE MESSAGE TO OTHER WOMEN?
 Hold together and keep surfing, sisters! Push each other into the waves that you wouldn’t dare to take on your own.
