<\/p>\n
What was your first job?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Delivering pizza in a little Seat Mii. The best part? Earning money while cruising around with good music \u2014 and the occasional surprise of delivering to one of my former teachers. Small town perks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Breakfast or dinner?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Breakfast \u2014 preferably Turkish.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What do you cook when you spontaneously have friends over for dinner?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Carbonara!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mountains or Seaside?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Seaside.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you could meet someone famous, dead or alive, who would it be?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Right now: Volodymyr Zelenskyy. I admire how he continues to stand his ground under immense pressure and genuinely acts in service of his people.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Which was your favorite place to live so far?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Tough choice \u2014 it’s a tie between Leipzig and Budapest. I made amazing memories in both.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Digital or analogue?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Digital for photography, analogue for (almost) everything else.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Favorite time of day?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Blue hour in summer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Window or aisle seat?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n If there\u2019s enough space \u2014 window seat.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Country you wish to visit?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Most played on your music playlist right now?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Desert Rose \u2014 Sting & Cheb Mami.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Favorite (public) holiday?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Easter \u2014 family time, spring weather, daffodils, and a long Easter breakfast.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last new thing you learned?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n On a train ride in Armenia, I met someone my age from the area with impressive knowledge of the country\u2019s history. From our conversation, I took away a few basic words in Armenian and a genuinely interesting insight into the region.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Which movie can you watch over and over?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Forrest Gump.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Three words to describe Berlin?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Unpolished, resilient, creative.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Three words to describe your hometown Vechta?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Calm, humble, community-focused.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Favorite pizza topping?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Fior di latte.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jonathan joins us as a trainee advocate.
