**Cannot accept guests until November since out and about myself - feel free to text if you are also traveling within Portugal and looking for a travel/hiking buddy :) **

I just completed my Master Thesis at the Max-Planck Institute for Psychiatry and am now on a break until November :) Afterward, I am starting a Ph.D. from home office for the first few weeks while living in Sofia, Bulgaria, with my boyfriend. As my living situation is somewhat half digital normad/half soon to be living in Munich I can only reply very spontaneously to host requests until I am settled again.

Before my studies, I worked and traveled in Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia and still love to travel backpacker style whenever my studies allow.
I am always open to share new experiences and cannot wait to meet all kinds of people all over the world! Even though I might seem a little shy in the beginning, I really like to talk and share or just hang out together.

Might have to warn you tho: I have a slight tendency for dark humor and clumsiness (sometimes quite a balanced karma combination :D )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am often travelling by myself so I am happy to meet different people and have some company on the way. I am also always curious to hear about different lifestyles/experiences. And ofc it's great to get the chance to travel with little money as a student ;)

Interests

My interests are neuroscience/statistics, any kind of outdoor activity (hiking, kayak, cycling).. .. and of course travelling the world :)

• animals

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally like all kinds of music, but especially more alternative rock and gothic music.
Books.. too many to list them here, just come around and ask me^^ same goes for movies (some of my favorites are On the Basis of Sex, Fight Club, From Dusk till Dawn), also have to mention my Netflix addiction as a form of procrastination^^ (iZombie, Lucifer, and Community were the last ones I watched ;) )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3-day alpine crossing and hitchhiking and a free helicopter ride in NZ (by the most generous and nice family who owned the helicopter and that I met together with my friend while hitchhiking, just amazing!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some English or German (and happy to practice some French and Dutch with you - maybe we can teach each other...) I am always up for hangouts and interesting conversations or just exploring new places together :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I just started to learn cooking, but I like to create a meal together.. also offer some creative cooking suggestions (tastiness is then up to you^^) .. and of course my company - curious to exchange some travel stories! :)
Also, I don't mind helping at your place if you need anything :)
