About Me

Im a curious young woman, who loves to meet with all different kind of people. I´m very intested in culture, means any kind of art or also the various backgrounds which people have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it´s the perfect way to get in touch with the places itself, because you get the chance to see it in a very personal way. What does the shape of a city tells you about the people, who are living in it? I´m not interested in the touristy places and hotels, travelling includes something more than you can find on a postcard or souvenir shop :).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Jazz (Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin...), alternative pop and singer-songwriter (Katzenjammer), world music, Electro Swing...
My absolutely favorite movie is the fabulous name of Ameliè Poulain, but generally I would say, that I like stories (in movies and books) with a normal-abnormal reality, with characters, who you may meet in real life, but who would be very special or crazy

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 6 month voluntary service at the countryside of India, two hours away from Kolkata (Calcutta). I lived in a host family and worked at a Nursury and Elementary school. It was so beautiful to live with their culture, I learned such a lot of things and also got a kind of a second home. Afterwards I travelled two months through the country, a time in which I felt completly free and happy to see this caleidoscope of amazing people and places.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share talks and discussions, about the meaning of the world or the best ice cream you ever ate ;) ...and if you like, I also would love to draw, paint, create with you together! I´m in anything, which sounds like a crazy idea, what I´ve never done before =D
