Will be traveling through China in January 2018. Since I’m going to study fine arts after my travels through China + Southeast Asia I’m really interested in Chinese art Scene. Also I’m a big nature fan and adventurer, trying to discover nature and mountains everywhere I go. I’m grateful to everybody who wants to participate in my journey. Doesn’t matter if it’s hosting me for a night or two or just hanging out for an hour to share some experiences. I'm a young artist from Heidelberg, Germany. I just graduated and decided to take a year off to travel the world. I'm really interested in all different cultures, trying to get to know as many as possible during my travels. And trying to get to know as many different ways of living. I love to meet new people, have philosophical conversations, dance, play tennis and create art. Sweden is my second home even if I don't know the language.

UPDATE
I came back from my trip to Asia in Mai 2018 already. I just keep the description cause I think it depicts my attitude and interests quite well... Currently I study philosophy and art history at the Heidelberg University and at the same time I’m doing arts by myself - I’m tryin to find out about a conscious architecture of living, since I think the way we live and the way we think can be art already!! I live in a shared flat with 3 friends I all know since lower school or kindergarden. We grew up together in Heidelberg and decided to get our own flat. One is a chef the other two are carpenters. We got a nice living room, with a small music studio and lots of arts on the walls, (not only in the living room :D ) which we offer to the guests. What keeps us together is our long friendship and the passion for creativity and of course (!) the wish to make the world a bit better place!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every place and every person of this world is different and has its own soul. I want to get to know as many as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Herzen Hören is the best book ever.
Music: almost everything which isn't mainstream and got some passion.
Tech-house/Techno and other electronic music for clubbing.
During the day whatever fits with my mood: soul, blues, rock, hip-hop or reggae. Just discovered how good German rap can be. Always a fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Johnson or The Blues Brothers...

I don't watch many movies but Leonardo di Caprio is just amazing. Catch me if you can, The wolf of wall street etc. always down for a good James Bond but also for good comedy movies. Almost no TV tho.

Teach, Learn, Share

A good conversation and my opinion about the world.
How to mix a mojito or some other cocktails.
