Hi, I'm Esther. I live in Münster, a small town in Germany near to the Netherlands, where I study Design.
I like to tell stories with my paintings and drawings. I love to travel to find inspiration, a new point of view and of cause to meet new people and their cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, it's fun meeting new people and there's no better way to learn something about foreign cultures than talking to the locals...

Music, Movies, and Books

I LOVE "Captain Fantastic", "Sense 8" and all Hayao Miyazaki movies

The Staves are my muse while drawing, but it's electronic music that makes my heart and my feet dance

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I travelled trough South India. I met a 40 something year old guy in Kochi and he invited me and my friend to spend the night as his house. We waren't the only ones. There was a group of Germans sleeping in his bed room and a young Hawaiian who already had spend a few months on his couch. My friend, our host and I spend most of the night outside on his porch. We drank, we smoked, we talked. He told us, that, in all his life, he never left his home town Kochi, but he always invited travelers to stay at his house.
Isn't that awesome? He kind of travelled the whole world without ever leaving his city...

Teach, Learn, Share

Back in Muenster, I live with three dudes. They love rock and punk music and the underground scene in my city ist quite active. Every now and then a band crushes at our place for a few nights. They come from all over the globe. It's amazing to learn about their culture, their daily life and their music. So we exchange stories, experiences, songs and hopefully learn from one another...even it it's just a dirty joke.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I sketch, cook a decent meal and play a few songs on the guitar.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, England, France, India, Sweden, United States
