I love travelling. Guess I'm a restless person in a sense.
I love late night talks with new friends and early morning strolls around a city I don't know.
Also, I love music wholeheartedly.
I love to learn about the peculiarities and beauties of another language.
I love understanding certain things about a culture.
And I love to study people.*

I'm a tea person. Very much a food person. Absolutely the "I'm shy at first but, but once I'm comfortable with you..."-person. Maybe not exactly shy, but definitively rather serious. A cat person. Such a cat person! A Harry Potter person. Not a morning person.

*Disclaimer: My love of studying people also includes bigots, islamophobes, homophobes, racists, Trump supporters, refugee haters and misogynists. However, if you do belong to one of the aforementioned groups, I can't guarantee that I will really put up with you. That being said - everybody's welcome ✌

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because why spend all your savings on expensive accommodations when you might as well live with locals, make new friends and actually learn something besides the tourist stuff about the place you're visiting?

Interests

Music (!!!), performing arts (dance!), art, food, Yoga & Pilates, history, literature, society, politics, and more. Oh yeah, and children and cats.

Music, Movies, and Books

That's just too much. Let's say Verdi, Mozart, Chopin and Mendelssohn. Also Beyoncé, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Sam Smith, Jack Johnson, Swing & Jazz... Movies include most Quentin Tarantino movies, Schindler's List, Me Before You, The Imitation Game, Theory Of Everything etc. Books? Well, definitely Harry Potter. All Roald Dahl books. The Great Gatsby, The Book Thief, Shakespeare.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen a tram derail in front of my apartment building and stood at the window/on the balcony with my flatmate for more than 3 hours until they finally managed to remove it. Isn't that super cool?
Jokes aside, I've stood in/under a waterfall in Taiwan. It's like a shower, but more beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you improve your way of using your voice. Or a few words in Chinese. Up to you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sarcasm, heated political discussions, travel experiences, a lot of nerdy classical music knowledge/skills/interests and a nice plate of Pasta.
