About Me

I'm a 26 year old vegetarian and I was lucky enough to be able to study for quite a long time. I finished my Masters this spring and currently I'm working with very inspiring people in a small NGO trying to change our higher education system. Apart from that I'm sort of engaged in political activism.

I am open-minded, enthusiastic and I love to talk hours about total nonsens. However, I enjoy similarly to join interesting discussions about life's most important topics. Moreover, I like to sleep, have a few beers with fun people and enjoy being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's more than Ho(s)tels and staying alone or with tourists is less fun! I've been on couchsurfing for quite a long time (can't log into my old account, forgot the password) and I've had always so much fun encounters. Moreover, there are always new story that can be told, and I love listening and sharing them.
