About Me

I can survive on literally nothing but pasta (I am not kidding here I can do this for months, even my Italian flatmate was impressed). This came in quite handy living in a small shared apartment with an even smaller kitchen in Estonia for a semester. What else: I love hiking, going in the woods, it is just the best place to recharge. and another reason why I love the forrest: nobody cares about the time which is great for people who are always late (aka me, I don’t know who said germans are always punctual because, nope, I wish). Oh, and I love to talk about basically anything, but most of all politics, philosophy, ideas - what a privilege to get to know how people from all over the world understand and live life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because life is just so much better with interesting, funny or adventurous people around you. the world is far too colourful and full of wonders to not travel and make strangers your friends :) oh, and to find someone who has the patience to teach me how to be a better beer pong player, that would be great too

Interests

I like reading, wandering or driving through the streets of foreign cities and I love to listen to the ideas that move people and literally just talk about everything, if you add wine even better.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hit me with everything you've got,- I’m always looking for some good tips to add to my list :) but the best books for me will always be 'Into the Wild' and 'Into thin air' (!!!) John Krakauer just knows how to do it! Oh, but basically you can get me with almost any kind of book or movie (expect movies where people go into dark cellars alone - even people in horror movies must have seen horror movie so why would they do this? I will never understand hahaha)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

swimming in the arctic ocean in december, this still seems stupid but holla die waldfee was it fun!

I would love to learn about as many foreign languages as I can - even if the time may only be long enough for a cursing words. in exchange I love to teach those who are interested a bit German (it's not as scary as they make it sound :))
