i am a person who is absolutely in love with cooking, eating and music (to listen to music, to play music as a dj, to dance to music - its all about music!) . In my leisure-time i love to connect with people - but eventhough i need my privacy and possibility to calm down, to hang out and to chill.
Staying in someones house for only few nights or some more is for me always also a way how to connect to locals and their "Daily business" - and it offers to me to see behind all those touristic things and to have a little bit of reality. this is something i am totally into.
I am a very independent person who may ask for some tips & hints but i dont need someone who shows me around, normally i am pretty well organized :)
i am very flexible also with the staying situations: might be a sofa in the livingroom what ever - eventhough my back is getting older so i prefer to not sleep longer than 2 nights on a mat on the floor ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being abroad as Artist and DJ is always quite adventourous - thats why i prefer to have on site local contact to people living there instead of staying in a unpersonal environment like a hotelroom.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Steve Monite - Only You
BUT: as a dj with a pretty big collection i am always open for new adventours also in learning new things about music - so it was not so easy to define THIS 1 SONG ;) - because i love music.
this is also one reason why i listen often to radio and have also a personal paid account on NTS Radio - (i dont have spotify by myself).

Movie: Samuel Benchetrit - J'ai toujours rêvée d'être un gangster
...also here: i love cinema, movies and all around this so it was a bit hard to define THE MOVIE :)
-> i have a paid account on mubi.com (i dont have netflix) and i watch a lot of Arte TV, and in general a lot of independent movies and documentations.

Book: Daniel de Roulet - Dix petites anarchistes
This story was a story i totally felt in love to the writing style of de Roulet because somehow this story of the brave 10 female persons back in the days was also kind of giving me hope about what we want to achieve to get a better society.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i was invited to Baghdad (Iraq) for a Graffiti Festival as a female artist to empower lokal female persons.

Teach, Learn, Share

all i know i love to share with everyone who is interested into learning new skills (is always a question of time and practice).
For a better understanding what i could offer (besides cooking): check my instagram:

What I Can Share with Hosts

funny moments, i can cook something for you and if there is capacity: Time to spend together if wished and if its a match :)

for longer stays:
- cook together - have good discussions about everything :)
- go to art exhibitions or art events and have an exchange about it
- go out for a coffee, a beer or a meal
- go out for a good party to dance: (I like Wave and Synth Pop, Electronic Music or Italo-/Darkdisco beside a lot of other music genres until COSMIC) or a concert (I like Punk, Hardcore, Doom, Underground Hip Hop and many more not commercial music genres)
- teach German
