About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Re/discovering Berlin!

ABOUT ME

Critical thinker with life-loving curiosity. Love to deal with feminist and anti-racist politics and issues in a creative way. Considering art projects to be a good way to spread my ideas and change power relations little by little.
Right now working on a filmproject dealing with migration and racism.

PHILOSOPHY

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat,known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the
depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.

---- Elisabeth Kubler Ross

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With my hand and my feet!
Besides that I was hosting people and was hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I gathered some during my hitchhiking trip through Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey - see all comments below. Most of them are from people, that I stayed with.

Interests

I am very interested to get into the field of antidiscrimination work and work within a small NGO on topics of gender and migration. That and all kinds of political work and art (drawings, paintings, photography) interests me the most right now. But I also like to
rearanging my bookshelfs so there is more space for new ones, making sure my meal doesn't burn - which happens quite often and visit playgrounds by night (that's probably the best time to try all the fun things out, without taking up too much space from children.)
