LOVELY USED GRUMPY COLDNESS_ book
Borderline experiences challenge us. They test our mental and physical limits, especially in
unfamiliar places.
Imagine this: You decide to leave your home country to study abroad. You will be confronted
with new people, a new culture and new places while experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions.
In my book 'LOVELY USED GRUMPY COLDNESS' 10 international students from 07 nations tell
stories about their daily life in Dessau and Germany.
In the following you can see 03 selected chapters of the book: Hanna, Aaron and Leo.
