CURRENT MISSION

study and use my freetime to see the world

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old and finished my university course and a Trip through southern and eastern Africa. First I worked a bit in India and currently I am in Panama until July. After that I will start my masters in Denmark.
I'm from Germany, though after high school I started traveling in Australia and got somehow addicted so that I ended up living in Italy, India and Iceland during my student life. For me, traveling is a great way of life and I love to meet people from all over the world and to learn about their lifestyles. During my trips I saw many things which can't be seen in Germany, which made me very open-minded and gave me a general 'it-will-work-out-fine' attitude.I don't need much luxury (except for good food) and I'm pretty much happy with everything. For my future I try to travel a bit more before I want to settle down and find a job within the development aid sector...

PHILOSOPHY

the world is a book and those who are not traveling read just the first page.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm within the CS community for a while now and had some good experiences. The people I met have always been very kind to me and some became good friends.It's a great system!!

Interests

As already said I love traveling and learn about different cultures and also languages of the palces I visit.Apart from that I really like photography. Some pics come out fine while others still need some pratice. I'm always open for more tips so if you know a good deal about it, I would be happy to get some insights.And then there is of course sport. I used to play water polo during my school time and was a state player. After school I looked for other sports and jumped around between soccer, basketball, rock climbing, surfing, half-marathons, etc.
