About Me


My actual name is Senta.
Rock Music is my life! I'm addicted to live music. There is nothing better than live rock music so thats what I do the most, going to concerts.
I also love to travel (I esp. love Los Angeles, London, New York City) - so concert journeys are the best thing in the world.
I am a strict vegetarian and I love animals, especially my dog Bailey! I hate animal abuse.
Right now I'm preparing my school examen (Abitur) on selfinstruction (Distance Learning). But I don't get that much done at the moment because I have got a tinnitus and get vertigo attacks all the time.
I also have my own internet business, selling silver + fashion jewelry, accessoires and gifts.
Being your own boss is not always easy but it gives you a little bit more freedom. <3

I'd like to meet:


Drugs Don't Work live by Richard Ashcroft (The Verve) in Hamburg, Docks at 25th October 2006! Filmed by me.

To see this song live was a dream coming true. It's one of the best songs in the world and I can't put it in words what it was like being there :))
