CURRENT MISSION

Kenya

ABOUT ME

I'm 26 years old and am about to complete my masters degree of peace and conflict studies and gender studies. I do not yet know if i can do anything with it, or if i want to, but i am about to find out, planning to live in Kenya for half a year and working for a local NGO dealing with Gender and Development.
I consider myself a political person and a feminist, because I love people and conversations, love discussions. I obviously love traveling and did my share. I love art and everything that is creative. I hate to be alone, thats why i want to meet people in the places i visit. i laugh alot and love to make you laugh. I know a lot of movie-quotes and will cook a nice meal for you or bake a cake if you let me stay on your couch.

PHILOSOPHY

you can never know too much and who doesn't sometimes feel to much, always feels too little ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

right now my abilities to contribute are farely small, as i will move out of my tiny place next week and wont have a couch to give away for a long time. no own place to live at all actually. but i hope with going out there and getting to know new people, views and places while sharing what i can, ill spread a bit of the peace ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i had a really nice trip through turkey via couchsurfing. this makes me optimistic for the chances to learn more during my travels than you would normaly in a hostel
