About Me

Hello everyone! =)

I am a very open minded and extraverted person, which is why I think couchsurfing is a wonderful thing to bring people closer together and meet new ones.

Being a psychologist and philosopher - domains in which seriousness is very important - I enjoy being silly very much. =)

One of the most important things in life for me is to stay curious and never stop learning.
I love making new experiences; getting to know new people, living in a foreign country, exploring a new facette of life...
I feel like I never want to stop moving.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing many years ago, but I never got to acutally try it, unfortunately.

During my ERASMUS semester in Bologna I had some opportunities to try and like this I made some very good friends.

During my travels through Latin America unfortunately I didnt surf any couches but met some very nice people via couch surfing :))

Interests

Exploring nature and getting to experience seemingly untouched landscapes - that got to be the best thing ever!

I also like skating and snowboarding, even though I am not very good...
making and listening to music - something that makes me forget time and everything around me.
just like scuba diving; I started when I was 11 and I still think its one of the best feelings on this earth.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a wide range of music; mostly Indie, psychedelic, stoner rock.. kinda stuff.

Even though I am quite lazy when it comes to reading - and also I dont have enough time =) - if a book catches me, I cannot let go of it.
Of course I am quite fond of a lot of psychological and philosophical authors;
like Melanie Klein, Otto Kernberg, Antonio Ferro, Peter Fonagy, Friedrich Nietzsche, Platon, Immanuel Kant etc.... the list goes on....
I am really into Franz Kafka, Sibylle Berg.. and other authors who write in this awkwardly precise way :P
But I also simply love all of the Harry Potter books and sometimes I even read some romantic novel.. I have to admit. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My 5 month solo backpacking trip through Latinoamerica was the best thing I've ever done.
I got to see the most beautiful and untouched places, met many beautiful and interesting people, made many good friends and got to know a little bit more about me and the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

-I know a lot of fun games and puzzles..
-I could teach German .. (but there is a saying: life's too short to learn German)
-We could jam together.
-I am a very good listener.
