CURRENT MISSION

Getting to the bottom of the worlds greatest mysteries. (-> people)

ABOUT ME

I am a very open and communicative person, who never skips a possibility to get to know new people. I am interested in too many things and i really like to make people laugh. I never get bored, my creative streak helps me in situations like being out of books or having no music with me.
My friends back in Germany were missing me while my vonlunteer year because of my capability to make people rest until early in the morning while drinking and talking far too much.

PHILOSOPHY

Brutal, boundless hedonism. Not exactly, but not far away from that. Making the best out of it. Always looking for the good moments, movement and moving people with moving ideas. I think some box on CS is not the place to spread my convictions, but i love philosophic "kitchentalk" over some glasses of wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still not that much, but i am interested in changing that. So contact me for spending a nice day in Hamburg and we'll see if i can skip my essay writing and show you around.

On my trip through brasil i'd love to be hosted by interested people.

Interests

As i wrote, i am a very interested person, which is not always easy. I nearly tried every sort of sports, thaiboxing, ballet, swimming, African dancing, capoeira, hockey and so on. I love music, i play the guitar and sing a lot and often see concerts. I also like reading, poetry and theatre, used to play some role myself. Languages are important for me, i am always looking for possibilities to improve my English as well as my french, even if both are on an acceptable level these days. Spanish and Portugues should follow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finished my volunteer year in Lome, Togo in 2012. I worked with sexually abused and exploited girls, which was an important experience for me, though now i really don't agree with any short-time volunteering work anymore. Even one year is not enough to get into a culture to be a really helpful part of it.

I loved the amazing, unknown beaches in Western Ghana, quite poetic scenery.
And i loved how easy travelling was in Benin, Togo and Ghana, you could just leave without having planned too much of your trip and look what happens.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy being with creative people, who have their own ideas and way of living life.
What you can learn from me? I don't know if those things can be taught, but maybe i can share some of the fun i have living my life with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A lot of words, ideas and motivation.
I like to ask a lot and i like inspired answers.
I am an acceptable cook and like to prepare meals together.
My guitar skills are low, i play to accompany my singing and like small sessions.
