Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
finishing my studies taking all the time I need to explore, gain experiences and find out what I want in life
ABOUT ME
easygoing, friendly, vivid, happy, outgoing, talkative, active, humorous, like laughing and going out and always need something to do. I am curious to get to know new people, thoughts, views of life and lifestyles. After finishing school, I went to Australia for 10 months of work and travel, I also extended my regular studies at German university with an ERASMUS semester in Madrid and Donostia/San Sebastian so I like to move around and adapt to new places and new people.
I grew up near Dresden, a beautiful city - so I can give you advices for your stay there or meet up when I am there at some weekends.
For hosting, it really depends where I am at the moment. Just give me a text and find out.
Find me on instagram to see more about me, my travels, thoughts, etc:

PHILOSOPHY
- There are no strangers here, just friends you haven't yet met. - W.B.Yeats
What goes around comes back around.
Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds - you can grow flowers, or weeds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting and being hosted, meet up
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A great way to look beyond the superficial view you get as the "standard" tourist, and to meet local people.
Interests
Travelling, laughing, dancing (salsa, latin, standard), nature, hiking, beautiful landscapes, going out, meeting new people, swimming or just relaxing at the beach, sunny days, sunny minds, forests, ice cream, cooking, food and eating in general. sleeping, music, horseriding, running, seeing new places, walking barefoot, sunrise and sunset, good talks, long nights, being happy...
Music, Movies, and Books
Music - I really enjoy all kinds of music, I am really tolerante: rock, metal, electro, reggae, ska, folk and country, indie, alternative, always depends on the bands or DJ's. I love live music and dancing and you'll make me happy if you take me to a bar with a live band playing. :)
And, I love festivals! Simply a village fair or a big city festival; a music festival or holi festival of colors, I am always amazed to see that people come together to celebrate
Books - When I was younger, 50% of my freetime I would spend outside and 40% reading. I loved books, because they took me to another world. But now that I am older I think to myself - instead of reading those fancy, fascinating, exciting stories - imagine you could go out and live them yourself. Travel the world instead of reading travel advices, fall in love instead of reading love stories and run with the wind instead of reading adventures of someone else...
Lately I came back to reading: Life advices and books that make you think about yourself and your habits.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- worked in a Hotel made out of ice and snow... www.iglootel.de, did cross country skiing at -18 degrees, saw polar lights and met reindeers
- survived 10 months in Australia, with the highlight of a skydive next to the beach and the awesome view above the sea and the islands
- keeping great contact to my family and friends and meeting up regularly - having truely meaningful relationships is so important for me
- learning surfing
- ran 20k half marathon
Teach, Learn, Share
Share memories, experiences, views and laughter and create new awesome memories together! We can speak english, german, french or spanish - so I could help you improve that languages or learn the basics. And I am always curious to learn new words in other languages. I like cooking and learning new dishes, for sure I could show you a "typical german" dish. I can show you around if I have time and give hints for travelling Europe, Germany, Australia and Spain
I am interested in basically everything you are willing to teach me.😃
I also respect if you don't have that much time to spend with me, no worries.
