The Laternenfest of Bad Homburg becomes more of a village party at the moment in which local residents share night, beer and music. The soul of the town is reflected in The Lantern Festival as in every step of the way, neighbours greet each other and remember good old days. At the point of having heard and sort of danced a live concert of basic oldies, Silke feels ready to do her American Shot. She has been a witness of the prior interview done in the night, Josch’s, and feels comfortable with living the experience. Beer allows words flow and directs them the way from the heart to the outside.

Her name is Silke. She was born in Frankfurt and lives in Frankfurt as well. For one year and a half she went off-road. She travelled through Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand. That period is defined by her as “the best decision” she has ever taken in her life. Silke is a sportswoman and a passionate about nature. The blonde and blue eyed girl goes hiking and camping, loves running and plays field hockey. Currently, she works as Logistic Coordinator. She finishes her presentation with an “I am talking a lot, right?”.
What is happiness for you?
Alright. Well. Happiness. Actually it’s really interesting to think about. For me happiness is freedom, to be who you are and don’t hide yourself or what you are doing or what you are wearing. Friends and family as well. And to be opened, really. Yeah. Happiness is freedom and to be at peace with yourself. I think then you can find happiness.
