CURRENT MISSION

to learn every language in the world. and meet awesome people to speak those languages with as I go along.

ABOUT ME

things I like:
the ocean. colourful second-hand clothes. spicy vegetarian food. words. books. languages. grammar (major geek there). Harry Potter (there as well). libraries. the home-away-from-home feeling. dictionaries. rainbows. biking through cities. popcorn. small cinemas. walking barefoot.

things I dislike:
narrow-mindedness in all kinds of forms and -isms. mushrooms. Facebook. (some aspects of) smartphones. overcrowded buses.

things I find difficult:
writing a representative summary of myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

moving to Freiburg, Germany right after graduating from high school. all in all one of my best decisions in life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can gladly answer questions about the languages I (more or less) speak and teach you some useful phrases if you like. I also bake a killer kladdkaka (Swedish chocolate cake).

I'm always up for practising AND learning languages! ... if you haven't realized that already. apart from that, I'm happy about every little skill and advice that I can pick up on my way :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

insights about the grammatical labyrinth of the German language, cake recipes, tips on where to get the best falloumi yufka/ice-cream/second-hand clothes in Freiburg
