ABOUT ME

I am currently a college student in Berlin and try to get around as often as I can.
I grew up in Magdeburg, spend a year in the Bay Area and am now living in Berlin.
In August I will start an academic year at Reed College in Portland and will try to see as many places in the US as possible.
If I am on the road, I really want to taste local food and beverages. I just think that local cuisine lets you get familiarized with the people and the region you are in.
I am more into cities and urban culture than in nature and countryside, so show me some great murals and I'll be fine.

PHILOSOPHY

To live the good life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted tons of friends at my place in Berlin but not via Couchsurfing in particular. I will probably not be able to host people in my dorm room in Portland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I mostly stayed at friends' couches or friends' of friends.
