CURRENT MISSION

Take advantage of your opportunities

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a graduate student in psychology at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. I study happiness and I'm particularly interested in cultural differences in well-being and how our decisions influence our happiness. I used to live in Germany and I love to travel, see new places, and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

My main goal is to serve the Lord in all that I do, which at the moment is through conducting research, taking classes, and teaching students in psychology. I also hope to travel and see as much of the world while I have the opportunity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use couchsurfing now mostly to meet people in cities I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I remember watching a soccer game in Bern, Switzerland during the Euro 2008. Holland played against Italy, and Holland won the game 3-0. I was really impressed with the enthusiasm and spirit of the Dutch fans. I had never seen anything like that. They clothed the statues in the city in orange, and poured something orange into the fountains. The whole city looked orange, and it was a very cool atmosphere.

I have also been hiking several times in the Alps in Switzerland, Austria, and Italy, and have seen some breathtaking views.
