Overview
About Me
Outgoing, talkative, curious, friendly, active.
Learned a lot about myself while travelling alone. Most importantly that travelling solo is not for me. I need people around me to share my daily experiences with, which makes couchsurfing perfect for me. :)
I am going to be a teacher in the near future. I think helping young people to learn and grow is an important part of society.

Music, Movies, and Books
Current read: Etta and Otto and Russel and James - I love it so far.
I read Me before you recently after I tried to escape the hype for almost a year and I was surprised. I thought it would turn out to be the next cliché-loaded love story. It is much more than a love story.
What else?
Don't get me started on Harry Potter.
I don't like horror. I'm easily frightened. As you might have guessed, I don't like chick lit either. A good book has a well researched background, a great story line and offers food for thought. Great example:
Khaled Hosseini - A thousand splendid suns
Theodor Fontane - Effi Briest
Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Been to the waterfalls at Foz do Iguacu. So incredibly beautiful! In fact, the whole trip through Brazil was incredible.
Got out of my comfort zone and travelled England solo for a month
