About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Studying special needs education to become a teacher in the future. Working in gastronomy to make a living.

ABOUT ME
I am a passionate cook and I love coming together with many people from different backgrounds to enjoy a big meal. I am blessed to have lived in four different countries already, meeting amazing people in each of them. Getting to know different cultures by just living in a place, were always the greatest experiences I made in my life.

PHILOSOPHY
Love the unknown! Get involved! Do not only learn from those who are like yourself, also learn from those who are completely different. Your view is just one of many and it should be everyones obligation to at least listen carefully. Being honest and critical with each other makes the best friendships. Everything else is rather superficial.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I do not like travelling to see as many tourist attractions as possible, but to get to know the people and their way of living, couchsurfing is the best way get those insights.

I think everyone who takes part in surfing and hosting is very courageous to give trust and openness to complete strangers. But you get instant reward for it by getting new insights and friendships in return.

I also love the fact that Couchsurfing is about much more than just offering couches, but that there are so many other social things going on, which allow everyone to find help for no matter what...

I love hosting because I enjoy creating beautiful experiences for other people. I have plenty of great wine at home and I'm happy to share it over a good conversation!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working in a mostly self-sustaining community for learning disabled people in Northern Ireland for one year.

All living abroad experiences

Basically everytime I travelled somewhere and got invited by locals to experience their culture in some way or another

Hosting incredibly nice couchsurfers from different parts of the world, sharing stories or creating experiences with them. Learning, if there’s trust and openess in the first place, there’s so much potential for a great encounter
