About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Mission impossible

ABOUT ME

First of all: I’m traveling a lot through work so I’m often not in Berlin. Also I sometimes don’t have the time to answer all the requests you get when you’re living in such a cool city ;) so please excuse if I’m not answering
............…
I'm a person full of energy and I like questioning the „norm“. That's why I spend a lot of time with many different topics around philosophy, psychology, politics and nature. But besides this thinker-part of me I love good humor and most of the time you'll find me loughing about something. Oh and I'm addicted to music and dogs - two things I never wanna miss in my life (plus friends and family of course)!

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is a dog!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I already had the chance to do couchsurfing a lot of times I'm so thankful for these nice experiences. Since I live in Berlin, I also had the chance to host people and I enjoyed spending time with them and giving them a little home for a few days. Strangers are coming together, we can give and take and bring so many different stories together and have a dialogue - this is so nice!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed during my Interrail-travel through Europe, Cameroon, Israel, Palestine and Jordan and this summer it was marocco which was an amazing experience. Thanks to all my/our lovely hosts I had an unforgettable time and I hope I can give back this hospitality!

Music, Movies, and Books

Loriot, le fabuleux destin d'amélie poulain, Les Choristes, Les Intouchables, Female pleasure, The Danish Girl, Blackkklansman —> I’ve been told that I’m disappointing when it comes to movies and series as I don’t spend a lot of time with watching them and it’s hard to catch my taste ;)

Music: Very diverse, I grew up with playing calssical music, listening to beatles and then going to my first indie-electro festivals so depending on the mood I'm totally into Oldies (Beatles, Stones, Earth Wind & Fire, Simon and Garfunkel, Led Zeplin, The Police etc.) or classical music like Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Satire or Débussy switching to Chet Faker, Bon Iver, Bonobo, Bombay Bycicle Club, Air, Bloc Party, Ben Howard, The Black Keys, Boy, Caribou, Dan Mangan, Daughter, Feist, Fleet Foxes, Florence+the machine, Franz Ferdinand, Grizzly Bear, Half Moon Run, José Gonzále, Junip, The Angelcy and much more. Oh and I loooove dancing to electronical music :-)

I looove books and I am always hoping for having more time to read them. I'm really into political or psychological books and try to get as many perspectives possible. One of my favorite authors are chimamanda ngozi adichie, susan abdulhawa, margarete stokowsky, yuval harari, Richard David precht, debora Feldmann...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moments when I can spend time with dogs, when I can make or listen to music, when I have my sisters around and when people are coming together

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I don't know exactly what I could teach...maybe some piano lessons ;-) And I'm a good cook, so if you need any advice in the kitchen – I'm here!
About Learning: I'm always ready to learn new stuff!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a couch and a lovely flat to share! Sometimes I'm very busy so please don't be angry if I don't answer (shame on me with my low response-rate) but I'll do my best!!!
