About Me

As my name is telling you, I am very joyful! I enjoy everything in life and I am always curious to see new things, meet new people, hear new stories. Being creative with writing, drawing, making music or produce films makes me happy. Feeling the rhythm of the base in my bones or the hot water of the shower running down my body relaxes me. My favourite color is yellow like the sun and my favourite flower the sunflower of course. My element is the earth, eventhough I love to swim. Therfore I am a calm person and stand with my feet on the ground. I prefer to live in the nature, probably because I grew up on the country side. I am a good listener, but also a good story teller, I like having a laugh and also serious conversations. You can take me out on a club night or stay with me at home for a film night. I am changing my styles all the time and my life plans as well. Right now I am studying screenwriting at the filmuniversity and I am very happy with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling alone can be lonely, but not if you meet awesome people along your way. It can be a possibility to share happiness and skills and to have a nice time. A few friends told me that couch-surfing is more used as a new tinder now, which is not my intention to be honest;) If you have only one bed, let me sleep on the floor, you don't have to warm my feet;)
If I had space I would host in my home as well. To connect people with the same passion for traveling and with the same interest in cultures and languages is awesome.

Interests

It's easy to get me interested in stuff. I'll try nearly everything in my life. I play 6 Instruments, I played rugby, rode horses and motorbikes, went to dance classes, I go swimming, I draw with pencils or oil, I take pictures with my sony camera and I am writing scripts for short-films and web-series, I am a friend of every animal, but I also like to be around people, I like conversations about space and rockets as much as I like political or philosophical discussions. I love hiphop beats combined with soul, funk, pop, rock. Singing and dancing under the shower is a must and breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rescued a chicken. If that is amazing enough.
I lived close to a chicken farm, where the chicken grow up in cages and never see sunlight or grass. One of them escaped one day and ran over to my house. As the farmer wanted to kill it, I captured it and brought it in my house. It grew up watching TV with me, sleeping in a box beside my bed and every morning I found an egg. I named her Conny and when I called her, she ran up to me and jumped on my lap. Her favourite food was pasta. Her best friend was my dog. After a year I decided to give her away to a farm with other chicken, because I thought she was lonely. Two weeks later she got killed by a fox. Life is a joke.
