I am big traveller myself and have been living abroad in Ecuador, Brasil, Netherlands, France and the UK. I returned to Germany for work last year after finishing my studies in London.
I have a particular affection for Latin America, since I have been there many times and fell in love with the open, kind and life-loving attitude of the people as well as with the other cultural elements (music, food etc.)
I have been in Frankfurt for over a year now and know quite some place and I am happy to show you around, if I have time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to meet people, show them the city and get returned this favor when I am traveling!

Interests

I am very interested in politics and development (my field of work) and I also like to talk about new issues with people from different countries. In my free time, I love to do sports (Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball), read and go out to cultural events in the city (exhibitions, concerts, cinema & plays).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The rewarding moment when we arrived on top of Macchu Pichu after walking hours through the rain was definetely one of the greatest moments in my life.
Diving 5 minutes right next to a whale shark in Yucatan, Mexico was an unforgetable experience.
Visiting Galapagos really showed how gifted our planet is and that it needs to be our number one priority in life to protect it for our children.
Hiking through the Lencois Maranheses, a coastal desert in the North of Brazil, was definetely one of the most amazing experiences during my travels so far.
