About Me

Aloha, i´m a girl from germany that needs to travel the world and meet some nice new people. At the moment i‘m studying arts and cultural stuff in Frankfurt. I love music, politics, arts, photography, literature, deep talks, nature, laughing and travelling (like everyone on this page..). For me it's interesting to see different ways of living or kind of alternative lifestyles. It's important to understand how the world works, how other people see it and how to make the world a better place... I´m a vegetarian and i try my best to live mostly sustainable. In general i would describe me as a very pensive and critical person which helps where help is needed. I'm really into this cliche of sitting with some nice people, drinking wine (red!) and talking about important/unimportant stuff. I prefer going out than sitting around, i like partying, meeting different people, learning about different cultures and sharing memories. Peace out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, simple question. I just want to discover the world, meet new people and have interesting conservations! So CS is perfect for me!

Music, Movies, and Books

I´m that kind of Indie-girl but i also like fancy german cloud-rap, hip-hop, folc and electro. There´s so much good music in the world!
My all time favourites are Bon Iver, Alt-j, FEIST, Roosevelt, Ry x, Flume, Tom Rosenthal, La Femme, Kakkmaddafakka and Nicolas Jaar.
Oh, i´m a Vinyl-lover and really into Johnny Cash, David Bowie, the Smiths, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Kate Bush...you can really catch me with good new music!

My favourite movies are those artsy ones by Wes Anderson, for example Grand Budapest Hotel or Moonrise Kingdom. Pulp Fiction,,Midnight in Paris, Trainspotting, Into the wild, Victoria, On The Road (i love the book too), Drive, Wadjda by Haifaa Al Mansour and Birdman aren´t bad too. :)
There are some awesome german movies and books, like "Sonnenalle", "Russendisko" or "die Reise nach Trulala" which i could nearly watch every day. ( They´re about german history and life when Germany was seperated and about migration, in general very funny!)

At the moment i read a lot of old french literature, like Camus, Sartre or Simone de Beauvoir.
I really enjoyed reading the biography "just kids" by Patti Smith and i´m into books by Charles Bukowski, Kafka and Hermann Hesse. There are many german authors i read a lot, like Wladimir Kaminer, Leif Randt, Rocko Schamoni or Thomas Melle. I´m a big fan of poetry and short stories, for example by Mascha Kaleko.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It´s difficult to choose one because i think you should enjoy every moment in life. I guess that the word "amazing" has a different meaning for everyone. For me it´s always an amazing feeling when i can make people smile.
I hitchhiked alone in Iceland and it was one of the best experiences i ever made. In the east of Iceland i met an old fisherman (what a bad cliche) which whom i shared a lot of philosophical ways of thinking.

Teach, Learn, Share

•Teach•
I can teach you some art, photography and cooking skills, some languages, crazy Dance moves.. But i think that you can learn the most about me, if you talk to me.

•Learn•
I'm always interested in learning new recipes or small words from a different language. It would be nice to spend some time with you, maybe you could show me your favourite places and hopefully we can share some great stories after all!!

•Share•
I can give you some great evenings, days and nights with me and my friends, nice talks about life, culture and politics. If you´re a racist, homophobic or anti feminism, it would be the best to leave my profile. <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

My time, my stories, my experiences...everything CS is made for!
For me it´s more important to have a nice stay with you than using your flat and wifi.
Of course you'll get a nice meal, a shower and a place to sleep.
