CURRENT MISSION

trying to understand the world - I think this will stay my mission forever :)

ABOUT ME

I am currently studying Journalism in my fourth year at university in Stirling, Scotland.
I am also working as a freelance science journalist for German magazines and newspapers. During holidays I am sometimes participating in different media projects or do internships.
I love traveling, which I try to do as often as my budget allows (or I'll just do it anyway).

PHILOSOPHY

Litera scripta manet - the written letter remains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love travelling and meeting new people, so I'd be happy to host and surf.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had some people staying over a few times (but not always via the couchsuring website), and I've slept on many couches in many countries.

Interests

Writing (!!!), reading, photography (if only I had a good camera...), travelling of course, music (Oboe and different recorders), talking (lot's of it), hiking, swimming, and more.
I love learning new, interesting words - my favourite one: Petrichor (the smell of dust after rain - thank you, Doctor Who)

Music, Movies, and Books

DOCTOR WHO!!! I used to live in Birmingham for a year and got to know British television - and fell in love with Doctor Who :)
I read a lot, different things, I always like to try new genres or types of books. I try to go to the theatre (yes, I know, I'm a bit different from other people in my age here^^) and the cinema (independent films as well as "normal" blockbusters) as often as possible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most amazing experience: teaching English to little monks in a monastery in Nepal(sooooo cute), playing Football with them and riding on a motorbike on the sandy streets of Kathmandu.
