China 02.09.2013 - 15.09.2013
Ines Mangada
I was born in Zurich and grew up in Rorschach and Bern. My mother is Chinese and my father is half Swiss and half Spanish. Since my earliest memories I like to travel, because I am visiting my relatives in Beijing and Madrid once in a while. In 2009, I spent one year in Dalian to improve my Mandarin skills (it is actually my mother tongue). Now, I am writing my Bachelor thesis in political science at the University of Zurich. I believe that traveling opens new perspectives and strengthens the respect to other cultures.
