Overview
About Me
My father did Interrail in his youth and my mother always encouraged me to travel abroad. So after my highschool graduation I went as a volunteer to Hanoi, Vietnam for 6 months. Subsequent to this program I travelled through Southeast Asia and got hooked up to Couchsurfing, which I used in almost all my travels from now on.
I went back to Berlin to study political science. I finished last year and I'm working full time in politics now. I consider myself a feminist and like to work towards social justice.
I'm open-minded and a relaxed guy. You can have a laid-back evening with me or go drinking and dancing. I'm sure we will have fun!
PHILOSOPHY
If it comes to religion I consider myself to be an atheist with sympathies to the philosophy of Buddhism. Clearly open to people of all beliefs for sure!
I very much like this quote:
"It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." (Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor, AD 121-180)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
All experiences surfing and hosting people were just great!

Interests
We all share our passion of travelling! :)
I love sports and play football (soccer) and tabletennis. Recently I got into running and ran my first marathon, which was a big achievement for me.
As someone working in politics I really enjoy discussing it. Other than that I fancy watching movies/series in my freetime or read a good book.
