----Unfortunately, I will not be able to host people for a longer period of time. However, you are welcome to write me if you're looking for someone to show you around, go to a pub with or explore the surroundings. I might even invite you for dinner ;) ---

Adventurous, quirky, extremely curios. I'm a rationalist, humanist, an idealistic, critical thinker (with science- and fact-based options). I'm both described as "an extreme extrovert" and "quite introverted". Loves to cook and discuss, always in for a coffee-talk or late evenings with wine.

I work in research and do not only have a thing for wild animals, but also wild people ;)

Despite being sarcastic and very passionate about discussions, I'd say I'm rather easy to get along with.

Count me definitely in for any cultural stuff, cafés, restaurants, cooking together, climbing or hiking. If you want to spend some time with an enthusiastic girl that's almost up for everything: that's me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a broad taste in music, ranging from classical music over jazz to Klezmer, black metal, blues..

I deeply fell in love with Sartre and Kafka when I was in my teenage years and got caught at Perec, Kundera, Houellebecq, Le Clézio, Dostojewski.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Led two expeditions to sub-Antarctica, hand-raised and trained wolves. Currently building a quantum laser for conservation biology.

Teach, Learn, Share

Generally, I am also eager to talk about culture, especially it's manifestation in literature, and - I mentioned I was a nerd - I do know quite a lot about how the human mind works. Plus, I can teach you everything you (n)ever wanted to know about statistics.

I speak Yiddish.
