I love to laugh because laughing is healthy so I take even a bad joke as an excuse to do so :)

I love cooking, eating good food.

I am rather shy. When I warm up I can get really social.

I am working in Religious Studies, so I get really nerdy about everything that has to do with religion:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling but I hate travelling without any feeling of being home - thats why I love it so much more when I am able to actually live at someones house during my travelling or to get into contact with people who live there. Otherwise I feel I dont really get to know the place. Luckily I met tons of nice people wherever I went and I am so grateful for their hospitality - even without couchsurfing!
Now I want to try my luck with couchsurfing.

I am also very excited to myself host guests from all over the world! I dont have a spare room though, I live in a 4 bedroom - flat with 4 people and we have an elevated bed in the corridor (we call it "the loft") that adventurous people can sleep in :)

I can meet up with people in Berlin on weekends - week is not so good I am busy.
