About Me

At the moment I'm on the road in Belarus! I'm volunteering at a school in Gomel, Belarus, where I help the German teachers in class and work on small projects with students.

I love travelling, reading, talking, laughing, cooking, riding my bike, theater, concerts, dancing, poetry slams, streetfood, binge-watching tv shows, and getting to know new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to explore new places and meet locals who can tell and show much more about their city/country. When I'm home myself, I'd love to host curious and open-minded people, have a chat and show them around my beloved Bremen.
