About Me

I'm an open minded person and very uncomplicated. I love learning about different views on the world - so come here and tell me about yours!
Being a rather calm person, I still can get very involved in discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling but I often have a bad conscience doing it, especially when I'm going to places outside Europe. I really don't want to force myself on a society and I don't want to be just a spectator. And that is where Couchsurfing comes into play. It helps a lot to travel in a modest way and it helps to raise awareness of different approaches towards life.

Interests

I like outdoor sports, organising discussions and events for students, dancing and eating French fries.
I just finished my studies in Refugee and Migration Law, which keeps me thinking.
Being outdoors makes me happy. That's one reason why I'm doing this long biketrip now together with my boyfriend. With friends I used to grow vegetables, flowers and a lot of dandelion (love that word) in a garden. Now that I don't have a fix place to stay anymore, I had to give up gardening.

Music, Movies, and Books

Orwell-1984, almost everything by Hermann Hesse, Jack London, Atemschaukel by Herta Müller, Die Vermessung der Welt, Into the wild, ...
I love music coming from the Balkans as well as calm singer-songwriter-stuff. But you can fill me with enthusiasm for many other genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many amazing things I was lucky enough to experience. Most of those moments I shared with friends. But traveling alone through Spain, Ecuador and the UK I had the most intense self-awareness.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: sewing, playing the flute and grow some plants
I am always interested in learning new languages or just words. One day, I'd love to play cello.
