ABOUT ME

Hey Folks, Dudes, Machans, Mates, Freunde, Amigos and Amici from all over the World!!

I am an easy going, creative and open-minded student from Germany.
The world is my home. I studied in Singapore, traveled in Asia, Australia, the US and my home continent Europe. Foreign cultures and especially meeting people from all over the world, became one of my biggest passions.
I've spent two months this year in Sri Lanka to support rural schools and families. Currently I am doing an Internship in an advertising agency in Bangalore until July, before I will graduate from University of Nuremberg with my Bachelor degree in Economics.

PHILOSOPHY

Life your live to the fullest and enjoy. Never miss an opportunity!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As Im a host on Airbnb , I already got experience in renting my place.
I would love to host Couchsurfer from all over the world, if you ever want to head to Germany, get in touch!

Interests

I love hanging out with friends, and I enjoy interesting conversations with people who teach me new things.
I do lots of sports i.e. Freeletics & CrossFit. Have you heard about it? I am happy to give you a trial lesson.
I enjoy freestyle cooking with whatever I can find in my fridge. Attention, I cannot bake at all, so you will always get a ready make cake for your Birthday or Anniversary.
I love reading inspiring blogs about traveling, trends and random stuff that's cool and always hoping to spot the latest great advertising campaigns.
I have recently bought a sketch book in order to give my creative skills a little push. However, I found out I need more practice to be confident enough to show you my work.

Music, Movies, and Books

Downtempo, Deep House, Indie, Organica, Cumbia, Classical, oriental and Arabic music

Eventually I do have lots of movies on my list that I like, however the movie that I have watched the most by far is Leon - The Professional.

I mainly read Non-Fiction books (a bit nerdy, I know!)
Everything that's related to Advertising in a wider angle and Psychology, human beings, cultures, Biographies and Neuroscience in more specific way. They give me lots of new views, inspire my thinking in a way that I haven't learned it in Uni or School.
When I am tired I just grab a stupid, simple magazine and read what happens with the high society and all these VIPs in our world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Definitely the most amazing thing I have done by far.
Sumatra Jungle Trekking Tour and living with Orang Utans for two days! I
t was the most impressive experience in my life and has made me becoming fearless to whatever will cross my path in the future. We literally lived in the jungle for a few days like wild people, made fire and cooked in the middle of nowhere, slept in somewhat that you would call a tent, well it was literally on the ground with a covering plastic case on top of us to stay dry from heavy rain. We climbed a waterfall, rode on a tube through a wild water river, played games with local kids, explored a hidden cave and found one of the most poison spiders there, we smoked Gama, aaaand of course watched one of the rarest wild life species in this world, the Orang Utans.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing travel experiences, languages, cultures, habits and anything that people are interesting in knowing from myself.
