I have an optimistic attitude towards life and people, like to laugh and like to listen because everyone has a story to tell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's just the best way to get to know any place how they really are

Interests

spending time outside in the fresh air: walking, cycling, lazing around in the sun.
learning through talks and discussions.
dancing to live-music.
and most important for couchsurfing: cooking :)

• languages
• campfire
• mountain hiking
• modern dance

Music, Movies, and Books

Orlando by Virginia Woolf (written in the 30ies it tells the story about a gender-changing person and with the normality of such a thing happening, asks questions about expectations on male/female behaviour), The Idiot by Dostojewski (classic, but nowhere else did I read such deailed and subtle analyses of the human mind and behaviour in society)

Music: Yael Naim, Kate Tempest, Baris Manco

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finished my one-year stay in Turkey with a 2-weeks hitch-hiking tour along the southern Turkish coast. In that time I was invited to stay at a family's house and stunned by their hospitability, had some wonderful mornings waking up in the tent on the beach and a lot of interesting talks with car-drivers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn everything! :) Physics, Mayan history or Japanese theatre techniques would interest me even though or because I don't know anything about it yet.
I can teach how to make a sour-dough bread and tell you something about Turkish literature and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good dinner.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Italy, Turkey
