ABOUT ME

I love to experience the world by letting behind all prejudices. Getting to know different kinds of people and places always feeds and teaches me more than school was ever able to.
I grew up in a beautiful rural place, where a big lake and beautiful forests surrounded me.
Nevertheless big and colorful cities (like Berlin, which is only one hour away from my parents house) with all their stories, colors and cultures are a great temptation for me, which I never wanna miss next to nature.
Switching perspectives is what I try to do every day. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
So far my curiosity brought me to lots of beautiful places and gave me the chance to meet so many impressive characters from all across the world. Listening to stories, telling stories, making plans, having no plan, discovering cultures, learning from other people, helping others, speaking different languages, being somewhere new, making friends, falling in love with where you are...all that means traveling to me.

PHILOSOPHY

"Whatever you get paid attention for is never what you think is most important about yourself." David Foster Wallace

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I find it to be an adventure to get to know folks from anywhere in the world and a really nice opportunity to learn and to share.

Interests

I am interested in any part of the earth, because this is my home. I wish there were no borders. When I'm not exploring the earth by traveling, I might read about its places, faces, events and all the different lives on it. Or I'm taking pictures of things that seem unique and original or I try to understand the most recent politics.
