I grew up in the South of Germany but moved to the North in 2018 because of my studies. I just finished my Masters degree in Climate Physics (Meteorology and Oceanography) 🌊. I'm engaged in political movements. One of my biggest concerns (of course due to my study interest) is climate change and in particular the world's oceans. I love to make music (guitar and piano) and I play in a Punk-Band and I also write about music (reviews and reports for a webzine). Good live music is (almost) all I need to be happy 🎸:) I enjoy reading and crochet very much and can spend hours doing that. I love to try out different things that I haven't done before which made me do a lip-sync performance on stage as a Drag-King :D And when being in the city is too overwhelming for me, I enjoy escaping into the nature to hike🌱.

Hosting: since I live in a shared flat and we do not have a sofa, I cannot always host. Just send me a message and maybe we have available space! Also, we are queer-friendly and antifaschist, if you are not, don’t text me, that’s not the energy we are seeking for. 🌈

ATTENTION: I will be moving from Kiel to Istanbul end of march so please no requests for Kiel after march 23rd!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Strangers are friends you haven't met yet. It is usually not easy to meet new people when you're just travelling through a place, especially if you don't know the language. I feel like not knowing any of the people who actually live there severely reduces your understanding of its culture. I use Couchsurfing.com because it solves both that problem and the problem of finding accommodation in one fell swoop. Actually, I was using couchers.org before which is non-profit and for free, but since the community is very small, I now switched to couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

⚛️Doing an internship at CERN was the most amazing thing for me as a nerdy physicist.
💃🏻Besides that probably dancing Samba in Rio after eating too many special brownies and watching Twilight afterwards.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a couple of languages, how to play the guitar or the piano, crochet or we can just learn something new together. I'm basically up for anything creative. Even though I have two left feet, I enjoy learning different types of dances - just be patient with me :)
