About Me

CURRENT MISSION

getting my phd

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a little village next to Nordhausen in Thuringia and studied in Ilmenau, a small City in the middle of the Thuringia Forrest. There I had good times, finished my master, was involved organizing a job fair, hosted foreign students during the international student week and spent a lot of time in our student cafe playing table football. I lived in Leipzig for a while for an internship and traveled New Zealand for 6 month, before I started my masters degree. During the master I did an internship in Israel, and also I am part of the IAESTE Team in Ilmenau. IAESTE is an organisation for international student exchange.
After my masters I moved to Erlangen in Bavaria and started my PhD. Still working on it ;)

PHILOSOPHY
Enjoy the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was couchsurfing in New Zealand and Israel. Back home I hosted some people from Germany which came across Ilmenau and also a lot of friends from foreign countries.
At the moment I haven't done couchsurfing for a while, because the website and everything became a little strange.

Interests

I enjoy repairing stuff, I like happy music, coffee, playing foosball, go for a run or just do nothing and relax on the couch.
