About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making every day a great one by learning something new, making music, having some good food and talks

ABOUT ME

I am 22 and study Culture- and Media-Education near Stuttgart. I specialized on music and film works but would love to learn more about fotography as well. I love to share storys and get to know new places and people.

Overall it`s very important to me to travel safely - that`s why i normally prefer to travel with at least one friend of mine.
I am treating people with RESPECT and KINDNESS and that`s what I expect of every person I host or who offers a couch to me! I like to spend time with the people who host but I think some time for oneself is important too

PHILOSOPHY

Der beste Moment ist immer sofort - The best moment is always now

Die Hummel kann nur fliegen, weil ihr keiner gesagt hat, dass sie es eigentlich nicht kann.
( The reason why the bumblebee is able to fly is that noone ever told her she is not able to in fact.
- hopefully an understandable translation)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I travelled around the british isles three years ago I'm on Couchsurfing quite often. I could gather many great experiences while i was doing couchsurfing for three months with a friend of mine. I was so lucky to meet loads of great people, other travellers and locals, who really made my travels something special - I wouldn`t have met them just by staying in hostels.

So overall I'm on Couchsurfing to meet people, to find new friends and to help people with the same attitude the other way around :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was in school I traveled to Weimar to discover the bauhaus university. It was my first travel all on my own. I asked my way and soon I got to know that I never had to be alone if i didn´t want to. I meet many students who offerd their help and met a student who is a member of cs and (though i wasn´t a member yet) she helped me a lot and spent her free time with me and showed me the city and her school (Thank you Ulrike!! :)) So this was my first experience with cs, a very lucky one!
After this experience I visited other citys in Germany over and finally took off to my couchsurfing-adventure after school which brought me to Irland, Northern Irland, Scotland and England with a friend of mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

...I would say paragliding was just amazing but the feeling of getting back to the solid groud was amazing as well :D

One great travel experience: When I was travelling in Scotland (end of march, cold, rainy, cold, cold) with a friend of mine and two other couchsufers from spain. We ended up in Fort Williams and met a bunch of people from different countries laughing, talking and making music. So we joined them and sang with them - and now after three years I am still playing music and do some busking with one of them!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could show you some guitar chords if there is an instrument available :) Or if you play an instrument we could play some music together!!
