About Me

I'm open-minded, quiet, and very interested in foreign cultures. I'm now finishing my B.A. in English and American studies and linguistics at the University of Jena. Next semester I'm going to start my M.A. in North American studies. My hobbies are reading, watching movies, and learning languages. My most important languages are Czech and Russian. I'm making music together with a friend, and I would also like to jam with other people ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."
- Albert Camus

"Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does."
- Jean-Paul Sartre

"Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old."
- Franz Kafka

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said before, I'm very interested in foreign cultures, and I also want to travel a lot to see the world. Probably, I will find myself new friends.
