About Me

I'm a happy soul ! :)
Studying medicine in Bochum.
I did a year of voluntary work in Spain which really changed my mindset and now I'm even more excited to travel, eat good food, experience more unique stuff than before !
At the moment, i cannot host. I live in a student accomodation so I'm not allowed to.
Whenever I can, I use the opportunity to travel, it's amazing how many curious people I've met through couchsurfing ! 😍💃🏼

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I strongly believe we can change this world by doing more in community, i think exchanging experiencies and getting to know people from different cultures helps us to understand each other so well and can just help us to be more empathetic.

Interests

I enjoy cooking, reading, going to the gym, yoga, dancing, swimming, meeting people from other cultures and exchanging experience :)
Another thing I love is photography! I've just started working with a tripode and my canon eos 1100d. Also at the moment I enjoy doing timelapses and little picture compilations with imovie.
I started doing muay thai some months ago, and i love it!!
Scuba diving!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like to listen to Queen, Lorde, The Kooks, The All-American Rejects, Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Snow Patrol, two door cinema club..
I can dance to any kind of music, basically!!
I also listen to german rap/ pop if someone knows like Ok kid, prinz pi, annenmaykantereit, k.i.z. 😜
También me encanta el indie español como miss caffeina, dorian, carlos sadness 👻!
But my favourite song happens to be "Don't you (forget about me)" by Simple Minds, also because it's part of the soundtrack to my favourite movie "The Breakfast Club" :)
Among my favourite movies are also "Midnight in Paris", " The Perks of being a wallflower ", " 10 Items or less" and "The Art of getting by".
I really enjoy reading ! I loved reading "Ostrich Boys", "Looking for Alaska" and "The terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim" :)
At the moment I’m reading a book about Che Guevara and cuban revolution as i went there recently.
