CURRENT MISSION

Visiting a nice school for my Masters degree in Lanscape Architecture in Oslo, Norway. Very different approach than back in germany, I like it so far!

ABOUT ME

At the time I`m writing this I am 26 years old, studying landscape architecture in Norway. All about me... that`s a tricky question. Here`s some things that kind of define me: I like getting in touch with nature and different cultures, but have a nice and very old house with a beautiful garden and cats waiting for me at home. I keep having kind of a symbiosis of what we germans call "Fernweh" and "Heimweh" (Wanderlust and homesickness).

I know it sounds kind of cheesy... but my long term goal is to make the world a `better` place (whatever that means... I have this vague utopia in mind). It`s an interesting and exciting time we live in, with a lot of challenges to come. I am sure that by meeting new people with different mindsets, some misunderstandings that we have on this little blue rock, floating through space, could be avoided!

PHILOSOPHY

This comes kind of close...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host people who are interested in visiting munich or dachau... I`m sorry to inform you, that I`m not very fond of Oktoberfest-tourists, as I`m not really a big fan of that rumpus :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a whole Irish Folk dance group from Slovenia once, went out with them, had fun...
Had a short visit in cologne and stayed with a rather cool dude, had to catch a plane very early the next day and almost didn`t get up, because of some very strong herbal products he gave me to relief the stress from the car-ride.
