About Me

First of: I am sorry for forgeting to write references. I just don't rely on them that much. But if it is important to you, please just remind me kindly after my visit :)

CURRENT MISSION
I love fairy tales. They keep me alive. They keep me positive. I spent my childhood reading them all and I don't mean the ones that are acceptable or whatever in western culture. Every country has their own and so I cleared taht shelf in the library when I was young. My current and infinite mission is: "Happily ever after..." designed, produced and more importantly: defined by me.

ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Africa and immigrated to Germany when I was 8. I love wondering about things that doesn’t fit into this world and love trying to find answers to different questions of life. I want to see the bigger picture. The reason why we are here and what exactly is out there.

I am totally over my head with that one, because I'm a Finance and Informatic student, but I love to read. when reality hits bad, that is where my nose is at. In a book.

I love to laugh. And eat. So a perfect evening for me is just chilling somewhere (the more quiet, the better) having some fun people around, talk, eat (and eat) and just let time run out till sunrise hits.

I'm a comfortable person. I don't do a lot of adrenalin kick things. I'm afraid of heights, but am battling it, since I really want to parachute someday.

People have bundaries. We all are wired differently. we all see the same things right before our eyes but every one sees it differently. And because I am love space, I notice things people don't. So I give space when I want space. Pushing me, is the wrong way of achieving anything. Well that is not true: You will achieve resistance. A very strong force. Haha

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling. But I hate being a tourist. Open mindedness and curiousity is the key to a successful conversation with me.

I am a collector. I collect stories and dreams and laughter. I collect memories. And that is exactly what this page is for: To collect. Everything human nature has to offer.

Interests

I get distracted by little things. Not like I'm not able to focus long term or something. But on a promenade with me, I will point out things I find funny, extraordinary...

I love observing people. That is an exercise. Observe without judgement. Observe to the most little detail as possible and create a picture.

Music, Movies, and Books

FAVORITE BOOKS
Quiet-introverts in a world that won't stop talking / The Alchimist / Not without my daughter
For this year I made the promise to myself to read at least 20 books from different genres / cultures etc. Maybe I will be brave enough (again) to pick up some literature in French and Spanish. Maybe...

Right now I'm reading: Prisoners of geography. In my eyes it should be school literature.

I watch movies and series too. I am / was / will be addicted to them. But any kind of documentary about anything is welcome in my life.

ME IN A NUTSHELL
-Music- Foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood -Literature

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jam with musicians in the middle of the night in a park in Frankfurt. I don't play any instruments, but I knew the lyrics to every song they were playing. It was the last days of summer and I couldn't have been happier than in that place at that time.

Music connects.

Teach, Learn, Share

The essence of life. I wish people could start to understand that. That diversity drives this world not "homogenity". But well.

I always describe my perfect partner like this: smart. smart. smart. And great humor. Just: Fun as hell or heaven (whatever way you prefer it).

And that is the same "criteria" I have for everything basically. I like when people out smart me. It doesn't matter in what topic. As long as we can learn from each other. talk to each other. Enrich each other. And maybe spark something else in each other.
