About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find time to heal my itchy feet!

ABOUT ME

I am easy to handle and always in a good mood.

Interests

I like to travell and to get to know new people. Well, that is not really a good explanation of my interests since Couchsurfing is a platform for people who like to travell and meet new people while doing it. ;)

I love to go hiking, spending some time in the nature (that's why I am travelling with a tent through South America) and in germany I am more often on my bike than on my feet.

Well, apart of that I have the strange interest in Economics and researching, to be more precise in the connections of economies, people`s behaviour and states.

Actually I also love to play darts and have a dartboard in my room, eventhough I am not living in a pub ; ).

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love to watch series eventhough sometimes it is a waste of time but still, I watched a lot.

Some books really changed how I see the world, some of them are the bottom billion, he end of poverty, poor economics, why nations fail and the price of inequality.

Music is a delicate topic since I like the music I like and it's hard for me to tell you why and which music is my favorite. All I can say is that I often listen to music like from Eddie Vedder, SOJA, The White Stripes, Billy Talent, Bob Marley, Die Toten Hosen, Explosions in the Sky, Fleetwood Mac, Frittenbude and Pink Floyd.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kind of know South America quiet well ; )

Teach, Learn, Share

I love music and I actually try to travell with a guitar, I hope she survives it (yes, she is a she!). I would love to teach and learn playing guitar.

My studies in economics made me specialize in Development Economics, so I am constantly collecting informations and looking for interesting social projects during my trips. If you are interested in the subject or if you would like to tell me about some local projects I would love to meet you even more :D!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you some amazing dish washing skills and some average guitar playing and singing!
I also have some average (or maybe even above) vegetarian cooking skills, it`s not much but I would love to share it since shared food always tastes way better and it might be a necessary indicator to like it :D.
