ABOUT ME

I am a politics student and a writer, having completed my first novel in December 2015. I get easily fascinated and inspired by places, people, and art. I love to get lost in the atmosphere of a new city, a new way of life. I like browsing through book stores, go to art galleries, concerts or out for a beer in a cosy pub.

PHILOSOPHY

The things that people regret the most are not those they have done, but those they have not done.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with an American friend who lived in Istanbul at that time and introduced me to all her friends. I also travelled to France with a friend and stayed at the place of an art student who took me to an artist's workplace and cooked traditional French food for us.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I have written a novel which came to partly set in Glasgow. I travelled there for research and fell in love with the city. I now plan to move there. I'm amazed how things that seem so small in the beginning can change your life in such a major way.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can show you the local bar scene in Mainz which is a very young and studenty city. I could also teach you a few words in German or show you the most interesting sites in the region around Mainz and Frankfurt. I will cook vegan versions of traditional German meals or international food for you.
