Hey this is Ani! I'm a Master's student in Berlin with the focus on Public History, trying my best to be the link between people's interest in history and the voices that need to be heard! Currently working in the Stasi Archive in Berlin (the former headquarters of East Germany's State Security). I love getting into conversation with the visitors, explaining them things on the topic but also listening and learning from them, especially when they have lived through the times themselves. That pretty much mirrors my thirst for life in general, since I believe we have a lot to learn from each other all over the world! Looking forward to meeting you and exchanging the rare gift of human kindness!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems to be the most natural thing in the world to me. Travelling shouldn't be all about money and in my opinion there's nothing more valuable than all the experiences you gain during your journey and letting other people be part of it! The best thing people can pass on to each other is inspiration and I’m always craving for it :)
