About Me

I'm a very easy going and nice person and I try to get the best out of every situation I'm in.
I love it when people are passionate about topics and share their interest with me. I'm open to all cultures and all people :)
I enjoy exotic food and boardgames, as well as movies. Coffe and tea enthusiast.
After my Work and Travel year in New Zealand (wow I know, so original!), I stayed in Germany to study Graphics Design, where I'm currently trying to get some footing as a freelance illustrator.
My favourite season is winter and I'm a dog person. My favourite dinosaur is the stegosaurus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing when I was in New Zealand. So many people saved me when I was in cities where every hostel was overcrowded, they were so wonderful! Plus I quickly realized that if you want to travel to another country, meeting people is way better with couchsurfing.

I couchsurfed a lot when I was in New Zealand and met super awesome people there!
These people were so lovely and I can't wait to get started on hosting people as well!

Interests

I'm very much into design, photography, and other fields of art.
My favourite artists are Van Gogh, Marina Abramovic, Takashi Murakami, Rene Magritte and Blek Le Rat.

I like to paint and draw and finds new ways of expressing myself through creativity and art.

I'm eager to get to know more of cultures of the world and I'd love to share travel stories!
Oh and also cooking. I'm writing down recipes that crossed my way so I'm always keen to try out new things! My favourite food is baked pumpkin with mushrooms.
