About Me

I just finished studying psychology in Dresden, a city I learned to love for the last six years and that I´m very sorry to leave for the next step in my life that brings me to Konstanz. Though Dresden became a wonderful place to be for me, I love to travel to other beautiful places, like Marrakesh, the Camino de Santiago, South Africa, or within Germany just to mention a few destinations from the last few years.
As one says: "You can´t add more days to your live, but you can add more live to your days", I always try to make the best out of now and enjoy what I´ve got, from hiking in the Elbsandsteingebirge or soon in the Alps and reading at the river side to cooking delicious home-made "creations" and playing board games with my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel. The best way to be lost and found. All at the same time.

So what could be a better way to be lost and found than with new friends in new places?
I learned about Couchsurfing by several friends of mine, all of whom can´t stop being psyched about there Couchsurfing experiences. Now I started telling my own Couchsurfing stories and I love it - I hope, you may be a part of it? ;)

Interests

It´s quite a challenge to summarize all my interests in such a small box for there are so many things I can get enthusiastic about - starting by listening and dancing to as well as playing music, meeting up with my friends, enjoying the sun, reading all the funny, serious, thrilling, entertaining and informing stuff I can find ... I guess the best way to learn more about my interests is to meet me ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Right now I´m listening to some electro swing tunes and read " When Nietzsche Wept" by Irvin Yalom but there are also way more books and movies I might list as my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I hope there are still many amazing things to come! - But definitively, walking the Camino of Santiago to literally the end of the world (Finesterre) was one great experience :)

Teach, Learn, Share

"Listening is Loving" - and I´m at least trying to become a good listener ;)
I also love to cook and I´m happy to share this passion with everybody!
