About Me

Hi everyone,
I'm was born and raised in Stuttgart, Germany but live atm in Berlin. I came 5 years ago and studied culture science with a major on Southeast Asia. Right now, I'm working on my thesis and enjoy this summer of 2018 :)
I travelled quite a lot during the past years and my craziest and best adventures had been living in Indonesia for half a year, visiting my absolute favorite country south korea (twice!) and even got to see egypt and his desert and pyramids two times in a row.
About my personality, well... you may soon discover that I'm an rather cheerful, helpful, solid person with a shitload of fantasy in her mind. My mission is to accept everyone for what he is or what she feels. I don't only see black and white or am too direct. I would consider myself a more honest and friendly person, who is more harmony directed than might be visible at first view :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been new to the concept of couchsurfing, when I studied abroad in Indonesia in 2015.
It was a great opportunity to get in touch with locals in so many ways!
I quickly understood that I love hanging out with the townsfolk of the country and was overwhelmed by the hospitality and kindness from our hosts and other people I met through couchsurfing.
Simply the concept of bringing people together to mix up interests, hobbies, cultures and spirits on a moneyless basis is wonderful thing and acknowledging everyones diversity, background story and thoughts is what gets me the most about couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being part as a participant of the German-Egyptian Youth Exchange from BUNDjugend Berlin and ICEalex and organising it!

it was a project, where 40 people of Germany and Egypt came together in Berlin and Kairo for a total of a month to learn about the urban gardening and the effects of environmental pollutions + climate changes.
I found the best friends there and on top, we were all same minded and eager to support sustainable way of living.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't like bragging :D but that's another thing one is able to find out, when the conversation starts

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a German and Eritrean I can share lots of things, e.g. language, food, daily life, religion etc. I think everyone knows quite a lot about Germany but not about Eritrea so sharing things about my other motherland might be very interesting.......................other than that, I can share airbnb and lots of travel experience

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Cambodia, Czech Republic, Egypt, England, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Korea, Switzerland, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Germany, Indonesia, United States
