About Me

**As for now, I can't host anyone unfortunately**
Thoughtful, more talkative and funny the more comfortable I become with people.
Right now applying for dance universities/panicking about auditions. Sneezes loudly.
I enjoy writing, reading and language in general. Also hiking, art (creating and analysing/consuming), peanut butter/food in general, dancing, hanging out with my friends and girlfriend but also spending time on my own to recharge. :)

Currently on a hiking trip from Xanten GER to Amsterdam NL with Raja Schäfer. We use couchsurfing to get to know locals and therefore gain some more insight into life in the Netherlands.

CURRENT MISSION: Consume as much Hagelslag as one possibly can.

Interests

I'm a vegetarian who's very interested in vegan food and tries to make her life more sustainable. Recently I was also inspired by Margarete Stokowski, an author who writes about feminism, to be more aware of this topic.

Spent a high school year abroad in BC Canada, which was the longest experience with another culture I've had so far. Had a great time with my host family.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm mostly into novels, the only good fantasy book I've read, besides Harry Potter I guess, was "Stein und Flöte" by Hans Bemmann.
Also just finished Elton John's Biography which I much enjoyed. I've also been becoming a fan of his music. Such a versatile artist!
Honestly don't know/watch a lot of movies but am open for recommendations (of course regarding books and music as well).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Personally it was deciding to stay for a whole year in Canada, instead of half. The year had much more in stock, for example the Polar Bear Swim on New Year's Day with -1℃ in the Pacific Ocean. Didn't feel as 'amazing' then, but I'm proud of it ;)
