If I was an animal, I would be a hummingbird: Small, versatile, speedy and still at the same time, colorful. I love places and people with a high energy level. Thus I love to travel, collect inspiration and moments of happiness. My second home is Barcelona, where I lived and lost my heart in 2012. I love art, my PhD is about art as well, I love philosophy and the idea that the structure of macrocosm and microcosm correspond.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think I've been a couch surfer since a lot of time, even though I haven't been a member. I love to open my doors for guests and foreigners and have done that lots of times in my life. But I have also been welcomed by others lots of times and always felt a deep gratefulness. That might be connected to my socialisation in a family of musicians. Our house was always open for people from all over the world. I think we're on earth to connect and share, Coachsurfing helps realizing that sense of being.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher for Philosophy and German - everybody who wants to learn about it is very welcome. I also worked in the local Museum of Modern Art here in Hanover and can offer guided tours. In general I love to show people the beautiful corners of my city. And I love to coach people (If they're interested in that :) ). Oh, and I can read Tarot cards for everybody who likes it or is curious. :)
