I'm originally from Germany, but grew up in Denmark. I've studied for one year in Brazil (Maranhao), spent a gap year travelling the world (mostly Central Asia), spent one semester as an exchange student in Hong Kong, and at the moment I live and study in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet as many new people as possible while travelling. I believe the best way to experience a new place or a new culture is through people, and so far I've had all my best travel experiences with couchsurfers!

Interests

First and foremost: travelling. When travelling I love to experience foreign cultures and meet new people. I especially enjoy nature, so I love trekking, scuba-diving and other outdoor activities. Other interests include photography and learning languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

The National, Iron & Wine and I love discovering local music in every place I visit!
I like Quentin Tarantino, interesting documentaries and weird old films from around the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a 15-year old I went to Brazil for one year, without knowing any portuguese at all. It was an amazing experience, and inspired me to really start travelling and exploring the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about cultures, people and languages. At the moment, I am learning Russian and Spanish. I also love to learn how to cook local food!
I hope to be able to share my experiences and culture, as well as my world view.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can hopefully share a lot of things: my experiences from travelling, my perspective on the world, my positive attitude. But most importantly, I hope we will share a good time!
