ABOUT ME

Well... (damn! My teacher has always told me to never begin a sentence like that)

I moved from my hometown Berlin to Edinburgh in September 2010 and studied one year of English and Film. And then I dropped out because it was more than boring. Now I'm a student nurse. Quite different, I know. But I love it!

I love cycling through Berlin in the summer. Glasgow's traffic can be quite scary but I totally got into cycling again. YASSSS!

I enjoyed my life in Edinburgh. The city is stunning and I've met loads of nice people. BUUUUT Glasgow is so cool, full of culture and weird people and with a veeeery special atmosphere. Come and find out for yourself!!!

PHILOSOPHY

The best feeling in the world is when you can make people feel better by simply being there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as many people as I can but Nursing is a very time consuming degree, especially when I am on placement, and sometimes I just want to fall into my beeeed after a 12-hour shift.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first Couchsurfing experiences were in Paris and London in June 2010 and I had a great time. Also I've met wonderful people in Finland and the US!!! When I finally moved out of student halls I was then able to actually host people myself which has been great fun so far and I try to squeeze in as many as I can :)

Interests

I am a big fan of going to the theatre, of music, traveling, meeting people, dancing all night long, culture, laughing till I have to run to the bathroom.
Back in Berlin I was taking dance classes doing Salsa and Jazz and I really want to start doing that again.
Also, I REALLY WANT TO LEARN TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT. Wow, I've been saying that for quite a while now. PS: I've now bought a guitar :)
