About Me

CURRENT MISSION

improve my karma and do some good ;)

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Stuttgart, Southern Germany. I have a great passion for travelling and nature, i like to learn and help. I love growing plants and i am vegan by the way. I am studying medicine, which is perfect, since i can work all over the world and try to do some good. I don't think i am complicated, but who does? :D when i am busy studying i try to find a good balance between my duties as a student and my duties as a host, but when i have some free time, i will try to make your stay as nice as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the time we have on earth, and help others to do the same!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This year I went to morocco with a good friend and we purchased a donkey to hike across the atlas mountains. We hiked far off the big streets and discovered places where people still live like 100 years ago. Even in some bigger cities we met young people who haven't met foreigners so far. In spite of the progressing globalization, we had the luck to gather unique impressions. The hospitality in these mountains among the Berber people is unmeasurable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you languages, such as Spanish, French, English, German and a little hungarian. I actually worked as a private teacher, that's why I even have some experience.

I love learning new languages... currently I am into Indonesian, but still trying to practice my russian and Hungarian whenever I find an opportunity.
