About Me

I am curious, caring, doubting, loving...human. Love to act, dance, sing and ponder upon understanding people and why they are how they are, live how they live, think how they think. I get incredibly touched if people share what they are passionate about. Before studying, I travelled and volunteered in social projects and gave some workshops for youth in India. Now I am doing my Masters in Social Anthropology and Psychology and working in a daycare with kids and teenagers while being active in several creative and social collectives (mostly in two, one who works with asylum seekers and one who hosts screenings of decolonial/indigenous films). My dream is to become a drama therapist and make my passion for listening to people's stories a profession.
I love theatre and have recently done a three month training in performative storytelling and am happy to share some stories with you if you are interested.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love getting to know places through the people that really live there, I find it provides a much much deeper picture than only seeing places "from the outside". :)

Interests

One of my main focuses right now is the exploration of how art-related practises that bring a lot of joy to myself can empower especially young people to stand up for who they are and what they aspire for.
