About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Juggeling with different jobs while trying to engage more politically

ABOUT ME

People who are close to me would probably say, that I am fun to be around with and that I am usually in a good mood- but also very emotional and a tendency to drama. Moreover chaotic, unpunctual and very loud, that I am a little bit naive and blue eyed... They will probably critisize me for taking some jokes to serious and for being undecisive.
But in the end I am not very complicated,
with some cheese, wine and chocolate it is easy to spend a good evening with me!

PHILOSOPHY

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . ."
(The little Prince)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have couchsurfed in Poland, Turkey, Iran and Portugal.

Interests

I am interested in a hundred differnt things but the most important one is probably travelling. Other than that I am interested in sustainability, persons with a good sense of humour, Europe (that is what I studied), good food, sunshine, the sea, cities which offer a good infrastructure for bikes and stories of all kinds, funny stories, sad stories, exciting stories, made up stories, real stories- storie from life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a couple of favorite books. In the times that I didnt study I had finally time to read books for fun again. The one I am reading now is "The Emperor- Downfall of an Autocrat" by Ryszard Kapuscinski and I love it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I left the US after one year I cried a lot. My host family brought me to the airport and I can not remember having ever cried harder than back then. My host mom gave me a bunch of napkins but it didnt help.
So I walked through the security check and waved good bye to them. I think in that moment I was the lonlies person in the whole world, at least in mine.
And I entered the little airplane and there was this big black stewardess, who just sayed "oh honey come here" and she hugged me. My tears wettend her whole shirt and I cried even more.
That was a very nice experience and that woman was one of the loveliest strangers I ever met.
