About Me

Life to me are the moments in-between. I'm generally a planner, but love the spontaneity when something beautiful is thrown at me.

I enjoy anything conscious and sustainable and am a slow traveler. I want to settle in a place until the bar tender next door knows what I want: a pinot noir and silence to journal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new inspiring souls! After being a very shy girl in my childhood, I have now developed to be a super open-minded girl (no not women, still child at heart) who loves to share inspiring stories. I have a general interest in meeting new people and getting to know their personalities.

Interests

My mind wanders a lot and I keep myself too active. So what I enjoy most is tranquility.
I really appreciate small things in life and love details. The perfect porridge, a good smelling boutique or the simplicity of watching the sunrise.

I am interested in sustainability in all its aspect: I work with sustainable fashion and love sharing knowledge on that. But definitely not on a nerdy way.

Music, Movies, and Books

my current fav books are: Sapiens, the history of the bees (at least that's my literal English translation), woman who are running wild with the wolves, the power of now.

Movies, urgh, I habe to admit: I do not own a TV, therefore it's more about series and documentaries, such as this one. It's called HUMAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdb4XGVTHkE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've explored California in 2016 for a month with my bestie and we had a rad hiking day! We've originally did not plan to do such a long trip, but spontaneously decided to do so. Everyone else was all geared up and mentally prepared. I was just motivated to rock it! In the end, I've hiked 8.5 miles uphill (13.6 km) with inclines of more than 45° for the last one hour. But the view (from Half Dome at Yosemite National Park) was so worth it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a little yoga. Or how to give a good ayurvedic head massage.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversations, as I am always interested in a person's stories. I fall in love with passionate people. Seriously. And love learning more about them. And being German I am of course always on time and love organization and clean homes.
