I'm a 26 years old living in Dortmund, Germany. I hardly have couchsurfing experience except staying with a lovely mom of two boys in Kyoto. Since I started Uni I haven't travelled as much as I wanted but me and my boyfriend bought a travel van with wich we plan to go around Europe this summer.

I'm a very curious and open minded person and thrilled to get to know new people. Anything you want to put me through to get to know your culture - I'm in! :) This may also be one of the reasons why I study Science Journalism. I like to try and examine new things! Also I have lot's of interesting science facts up my sleeve for you, if you're interested ;)

Unfortunately I can not host any surfers at the moment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting locals in the places you're traveling to is what makes traveling most valuable!

Interests

During my free time I like to clear my head with skateboarding or dance. Or I stuff my head with scientific knowledge, sharing it over my Instagram Channel "echonaut.science". Besides that I am a very visual person and I also like to go to any kind of museum or cultural sites. And of course I like to eat a lot ;) That's maybe my biggest passion.

Music, Movies, and Books

I do not really have a favorite type of music, but if I should name one it would be anything funky and groovy (like real disco stuff). It always depends on where I am and under wich circumstances. I choose Arthouse Cinema over Blockbusters. About books I like (of course) science related books that teach you something...I'm currently reading a book about my favourite animal of all time: the octopus <3. Otherwise I like any book that takes me to another world or into another person's life. I tend to get really involved when reading :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a oceanographic research vessel at the Baltic Sea for a day, we took a large probe from the ground and examined the layers - that's when I touched 30 000 years old shells and tasted the mud from the ground of the sea (it smelled like sulfur/egg but tasted like very wet forest soil, wich is maybe because it is very old and rotten forest :D).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some mad athletic skills like handstands, cartwheels or ninja style kicks and for the more advanced and brave maybe an aerial (cartwheel without hands) ;) Of course I can teach you some german, maybe in exchange with some of your language. And Science! Let's talk about nerd stuff!
