About Me

After finishing my studies of sociology and art theory I worked with traumatized refugees from Syria. After that I taught german to refugees and migrants. Now I'm in charge of representing the german academic exchange service in the southwest of Colombia. I'm also working in a master's program "Relaciones Eurolatinoamericanas" I teach International Relations and am responsible for the marketing.

In my free time I enjoy hiking, museums, cinemas, concerts traveling, photography, working out, reading and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started to use hospitalityclub and later on couchsurfing when I lived in Chile almost 10 years ago and I was hooked. For various reasons I enjoy traveling a lot more with couchsurfing. CS also enriches my everydaylife by the new people I get to know via the community.

Interests

I feel simple things are important. So I like to move: walking, yoga, sports and everything that makes me feel my body. I enjoy cooking and eating. In general I have a quite healthy lifestyle.
I studied art, social science and humanities so I spend a lot of time reading. Art, Architecture, Music, honest human beings: everything that is creative is interesting for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been lying naked on the beach during nightime just feeling the sand, the waves of the sea and watching the stars in the sky, without any kind of thoughts. one of the most important moments of my life, because i felt the spirit of nature. this helped me enjoying life more.
