I love long conversations and this girl is the perfect partner for that. Sophie, my dear, is a deep thinker and such an inspirational woman. 

She is studying International Finance at Frankfurt University and we met while she was an Erasmus student in Denmark.

“Sophie hit emotional puberty when she was 6-years-old” - Sophie's mom

Disclaimer: We did it via zoom and I had my headphones on which have a VERY bad microphone and because I am an amateur, I didn't check the quality and that is why the audio is so bad from my side. Luckily I was having a conversation with the best storyteller, so I let Sophie talk for most of the time, which worked very well.
