Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I haven't been using CS in a while. Within Europe, I might prefer to join the events organized by CS. BUT! I also want to host persons! Until now, I have only surfed and never hosted. In order to get a good balance here and as I have my first own appartment now, I'd like to give some of the nice hospitality back, that I've got so far. I will try to get my appartment a little bit more cosy but then I guess, latest by end of October 2017) it is ready to host someone or also 2 or 3 people at a time.
ABOUT ME
I am a little chaotic and clumsy and rather sponatneous as organzied. Still I am usually very concerned about other peoples' feelings and well-being and put all efforts into them feeling good. I would say I a am friendly, hospitable, helpful, warm-hearted, considerate and empathetic person. I love getting to know different cultures and languages (or at least their sound). I am especially interested in Spanish, Portuguese, and the other romance languages because I studied Spanish. I am keen on leraning about other peoples` cultures, religions and habits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
GRANADA in Spain:
Lovely city!Want to go there again! swimming in the city's hot springs at midnight
Spending half a year in Spain as an Erasmus student and having the most international atmosphere ever

Travelling India, mostly alone. But I woulnd't do it alone next time;)
Living for one year in Brazil.
Teach, Learn, Share
Those who live in countries which don't suffer from any major problems like hunger/poverty/ war/ surpression/ lack of electricity/drinking water etc. can afford to overthink their lifestyle..so, I find these current movement interesting:
avoid plastic/ or producing any garbage

and minimalism as a contrast to our consumption-orientated world
(in German, though):

I do not live this way. Not yet. But I am seriously considering overthinking a lot my way of lifestyle.
I am very much aware though, that travelling (esp. by plane) contributes a lot to pollution and see that it is a little contradictory to safe and destroy the world at the same time..
What I Can Share with Hosts
I guess that would be travel stories and the way I think about certain things. Having grown up in Germany and lived timel in very different countries.
We can do yoga together:D
