Here's a little summary of my life ...
My childhood was dominated by building immense cities in the sandbox, riding my bike and on rainy days building immense cities, ships or cars with Lego. In school the most interesting classes where mathematics, physics and chemistry - but the two with the greatest impact were geographic and typing. In geographic an imminent test forced me to learn the names of all streams in Siberia which I still know today and for the typing homework I got a computer. So soon the sandbox and Lego became replaced by computer games and programming.
For several years I played an active role in the protestant church, as leader as well as participant. From my nowadays point of view the best of it were the experiences with the children and teenagers participating in the events, the very democratic way of making decisions and the friends I found there.
After school I was called to do my 13 month of civil service: meal on wheels service, helping handicapped people, etc. As it happened many times that somebody got the wrong meal (and don't underestimate the plea of an old woman who doesn't like fish) I wrote a small computer program to organize this - my first commercial software product! Of course the next step was to start my studies on computer science.
The first real intercultural/international experience was a trip without my parents to the USA. This was so fantastic that I wanted to do more in this direction and joined the international student organisation AIESEC. So far the highlight of "Flo abroad" was my traineeship in Medellín in Colombia! When back I wrote my thesis what terminated my studies. Now since about 1 year I'm working as a Software Developer in the quality assurance department of Avid in Munich.
Further facts can be found in my CV.

Hobbies
Will it be ok to mention software development as a hobby too if it's already my job and the topic of my studies? Besides software development I like discussions, singing, rock climbing, mountaineering, travelling, taking pictures, reading newspapers, doing crossword puzzles, playing board games and about hundred more things. The only dilema is that a day only has 24 hours.
