About Me

I love to meet new people, travel to new countries and experience more styles of life.
I love to experience a culture by learning their dances, music and their food and connecting with the people living the culture. I don't have to see every tourist attraction, but rather live in the culture and get a feeling of it.
Living in Ghana for one year changed my world! From the very beginning in the country I felt at home and where I belong. I feel at home in the ghanaian culture and I love to learn more and more of it.
So I started cooking ghanaian food, when I'm back in Germany, because I miss it so much.
Also the Music from Ghana, but also other african countries like Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Congo-Kin and Congo-Brazza makes my heart melt and I enjoy it with a lot of emotion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To learn a culture the best way for me is to live in it and live with a person in their everyday life.
Exchange between people is so important! Only if we exchange and communicate and share knowledge and feelings we can all understand each other and live together in this world.

Interests

I love dancing! I started in Ghana when people showed me some Azonto moves. I continued when I came back to Germany and I learned more and more about different african dance styles from different countries. I recently feel in love with Ndombolo more and more due to my one year stay in Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo.
Other then that I love doing sports, I love eating and cooking, I love hanging out with wonderful people and eat and cook and dance together :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jump 111m from a bridge towards the Zambezi River at the Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe !
