About Me
Hi, I'm Vicky! I run this website.
I'm mostly just some girl, but in case you wanted to get to know me a bit better, here you go:
- Name:
- Vicky (Victoria, actually)
- Pronouns:
- she/her
- Height:
- 6'3 / 1,90 m
- Sexuality:
- Lesbian
- Relationship status:
- Taken <3
- Languages:
- English, German, Latin (only with a dictionary)
- Programming languages:
- I did a bit of R at university and I'm currently trying to learn some Python.
- Favorite word:

- Catchphrase:
- "Hell yeah!"
- Interests:
- Enjoying art & music (see below), making art (mostly writing, drawing and photography), crocheting, spending time with my friends and making them happy, learning something new every day, and enjoying life on Earth to its fullest!
- Field of study:
- Well… I have a BSc in geography, having mostly focused on human-environment-interactions with my bachelor's thesis written on climate change and societal collapse. I originally wanted to pursue a master's degree in the field as well, but I didn't really feel it anymore, so I am currently pursuing a BA in English studies with a minor in history. I don't really know what I will end up focusing on, but I really like environmental history and the history of the industrial revolution; as for English studies, I really like post-modern literature as well as sci-fi and horror literature and linguistics in general. We'll see.
This is what I really look like.
And this is where I come from.
This is some of my favorite stuff; art, film, music etc.
