One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went up to a vulcano and watched the explosions in the sunset from really near - breathtaking experience.

I travelled making streetmusic with a friend. Creating emotions through music - such as nostalgia or joy or even just create a little smile - are such valuable things.

I cancelled my Erasmus-year in the last second and decided to stay in Freiburg. Once you are here, this city is just impossible to leave !

Once dumbsterdiving in Norway we found the container fuuuull of flowers. We took them all and went on a mission putting flowers in the mailboxes of the houses to spread some joy and love :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am studying to be a teacher, so if you want to learn German or French - me voilà :-)

I really love to cook nice vegetarian / vegan food, also, and we can talk about everything or nothing, seriously or joking.
