CURRENT MISSION

getting to know spring in Berlin!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy the company of my friends.
Sometimes I am busily studying; actually often distracting myself and always glad about the distraction I get. I like all the surprises and things that happen spontaneously or which I had underestimated before - disregarding if it's about an evening spent with my friends or vacationing. I am cheerful, sometimes reflective, cordial, open...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfing alot when I was attending unviersity in Leipzig; guests are still welcome at my new place in Berlin!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been using Couchsurfing for eight years now, appreciating the idea of liberal traveling, regarding unknown people as potential guests.
It's the best if you are allowed to see a new place through the eyes of a local; this makes a trip really unique.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sometimes I like traveling without knowing the destination before or the people one might meet. I did this in summer 2012 when I was hitchhiking with one of my best friends. We just planned to go to the south-east and ended up in Montenegro after just four days. Every evening I went to sleep I couldn't figure if things happened the same day or the one before because the days were so full of activities and people. This was so new to me and amazing as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach if one might ask me to; try to learn and don't mind to share everything. I am interested in everything that's completely new to me and willing to find out more about it.
