About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Want to explore the world, different cultures and make new friends!

ABOUT ME

I am a Sociology/Cultural Anthropology student from Germany. I love traveling, especially in Asia and India! Now heading towards east Africa.
What I find most exciting about traveling is getting to know and experience the local everyday life in different places.
I have many hobbies, such as cooking, hiking tracks, photography and have a huge passion for India.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

WHY I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to be in close touch with local people.
I made such good experiences with CS in the past and made some good friends which whom I still visit and stay in contact with. For example I attended one of my friends wedding one year after we met through Couchsurfing in Agra (India).

Interests

I have a passion for India, going back to my first travel there in 2011, and have been back many times since. This time, by coming to East Africa I would like to discover new cultures and meet more awesome people.
All the places I have visited, I add my experiences to my sociopolitical knowledge of the world. Everywhere I have been I take a little piece of this place with me by picking up some dishes, music, friendships and memories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have interest in discovering music from around the world and from all genres, and what I listen to on a daily basis also changes very often.
I recently discovered Stanley Kubrick, and enjoyed his movies because of the artsy feel of them and the atypical story lines. Guy Richie also makes movies I enjoy for the atmosphere and the music.
A movie that recently touched me was Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri.
For the book part, I like non fictional books the most. That way I can broaden my knowledge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The weeding of my friend in India was amazing. Also seeing the more remote places of India like Nagaland was a great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

One should not be afraid to do uncommon decisions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking a good meal with people and maybe learn and teach some new recipe or new technique.
I would like to share stories with my host about our travels, adventures and cultures.
If you are also into photography we could go for a photographing session through the city at night.

Countries I’ve Visited

Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Laos, Montenegro, Myanmar, Nepal, Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey
