Tell us about yourself.

My name is Katharina and I am a Masters student from Germany. I am studying Molecular Biomedicine and I am very interested in science. I like to spend my free time with my friends or do some sports. In general, I am an open-minded person who likes to meet new people. 

How do you spend your free time in Vancouver?

In my spare time in Vancouver I do a lot of travelling and hiking. I have visited Victoria on Vancouver Island, Whistler, Seattle and Lynn Creek. 

What are some challenges you’ve faced with moving to Canada?

Finding a decent place to live was a challenge during my time in Vancouver. It also took time to adjust to living in a new country and to understand the different rules and systems.

Which place would you recommend to someone visiting your country?

In the summer, I would recommend a visit to the Alps, where you can enjoy the beautiful nature. In the winter, my recommendation would be a visit to Cologne and the big German Christmas markets.

What are you hoping to achieve during your time at MOSAIC?

During my time at MOSAIC I would like to improve my English vocabulary. I also want to become more confident and secure in my English.
