About Me

I'm born and centered in Berlin but love to travel, see the world and more important the people that create our social fabric, like you and me. I do like the outdoors, hiking, walking down the woods or cityseeing. However I do appreciate some time on couches and relaxation as well.

Reading, well sorted board games, pen and paper as well as festivals, music and conversations of a variety of things do interest me.

I currently try to get to know a few more languages (I have a habit of starting them but not practicing) - as well as creating opportunities to dance more ( Salsa / Forró / Techno ). If you are up for parts of that send me a message :)

I am queer-friendly. Something I am not very fond of is gender rolls or binarity in gender norms, I do believe it makes the world less fun than it could be.

Currently there is the question on my mind wether I should relocate to somewhere nice, like Joburg in South Africa. At least for a few month maybe?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to make the world a little bit smaller place by reducing the barriers of material conditions for people wanting to experience the places and people where I do live a tiny bit.

I am currently looking for short term stays in Joburg till the 14th of January, I am thinking about relocating here depending on the vibe of the city.
