About Me

Even if my profile doesn’t look like it, I have been Couchsurfing for many years. I am living in a welcoming shared flat, that is used to have couchsurfing- or warmshower-guests.
I enjoy staying in private places and getting in touch with new faces and stories.
I just graduated as an integrated Designer, being passioned about critical & social design and the transformation that can happen through it. I’m a Bodyworker, a foodie and a foodfighter, a feminist and social being.
I love community as much as I love my own space. I’m curious, open minded and I act & feel with all my heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As the most people here, I am traveling a lot. I'm enjoying the variety of places, cultures, food and homes. Through couch surfing I ended up at some lovely places with various people! Whether to explore the world or just having a quiet weekend somewhere nowhere, I'm always happy about trusting people, helping each other out and sharing their private spaces.

Interests

I love food and also cooking it! I'm always open for good coffee/tea/vino or beer and conversations about whatever comes up (except cars&soccer -I'm sorry :P). I love to explore and hear about things that make the world a good place to be: Visions and passions put into social projects, art, music, design, dance, sustainable alternatives, gardening, drawing, writing, dreaming…

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste of music doesn't really fit into genres. It mostly depends on my mood and gets influenced all the time. I tend to sing loudly when nobody listens.
New music input is always welcome!

To keep the booklist short, seven books I would share with anyone:
Yuval Noah Harari - A brief History of Humankind
Margarete Stokowski - Untenrum frei
Norma Doidge - The Brain that Changes Itself
Angelika Selina Braun - Taguarí
Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now
Michael Ende - Momo
Christoph J. Ahlers - Vom Himmel auf Erden

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My all time favorite: Sleeping in a beautiful workshop space above circular saws, having coffee in between sketches and prototypes.

Seeing surprised Couchies, realizing Dessau got much more glow than expected. :P

Teach, Learn, Share

Great food! I'm a passioned freestyle cook. (The only fixed recipe I can share is how to make a pretty damn good german potato salat like my great grandma Käthe)
I can give you a bodywork session If you’re interested in connecting more with your body.
(No sexual interest! Just to keep that clear!)
