About Me

at the age vof 20 i moved from my little village in hessen to berlin where i´m living until now. I love berlin! It gives you the most kreative enviroment in germany possible.
Since 10 years i´m living in a big factoryflat with 13 people, generation- and gendercrossover.
Because of my age of course i have a lot of different experiences. May be the most important one is a lot of travelling. I lived one year in guatemala, centralamerica and i travelled a lot lot in asia. Actually india is my preferred country and i´m going regulary there. The main reason is because i´m studying buddhism since abhout 10 years and you con see all the great teachers in india. But never the less i love that country anyway.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet and live with local people is in my opinion a very good way to learn abhout the country. And i like being with people as much as i as well sometimes enyoy beeing alone.
Unfortunately i cant host visitors because as living with 13 people i have of course a responsibility for the group and as we have a lot of guests it will bring more inquietness in the group. But for sure, if i did cs and will know the people so i really would like to host them as friends.
