CURRENT MISSION

being here and there the last nearly 2 years now after I finished my Bachelor in Literature Studies and English in Bochum. I have travelled around in India and Bali, worked to earn money, did an internship in a kids theatre in Berlin and am now back to start my master studies in Modern Indian Studies in Göttingen in October :)

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed, curious and open-minded person. I enjoy to meet new people and experience different ways of life. I seldom get bored, so dont worry about me being a complicated guest.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in this moment or at least try to. Because it is the only thing that´s real.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now as an inbetween thing I live in Wewelsburg at my mum's place in a nice room under the rooftop^^ But as this is not really the home I can call my own I cant host right now...anyway, its a nature beautiful but pretty boring village, so wouldnt be too exciting anyway^^

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During a trip through Spain I couchsurfed for the first time at Rulo`s in Madrid and Elisa`s in Granada and it was just really cool! In Glasgow at Louis's. But since then I actually havent couchsurfed for some time now. Anyway I find couchsurfing a really beautiful way to get in contact with people. It makes travelling even more adventurous because it is not just about the land it is always or even more the people living there

Interests

I like reading, listening to music, playing the guitar and singing. I love theatre, as a spectator as well as an actor myself.
I like animals and used to ride for quite a long time. I like to go running, cycling, longboarding and I pretty much adore swimming and wavesurfing.
I love dancing! To anything really, but especially to electronic music of whichever kind but drum`n'bass prefered. But also to rock and pop, not so very much to hip hop though ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have looked down into the deepest (thats of course supersubjective ;) ) abyss of ocean while sitting/lying/standing/kneeing - I cant remember - on my surfboard on the peak of an enormous (thats relative also^^) wave before falling into it in the end and being washed and swirled by loads of pretty agressive salty water. I find there is something beautiful and so intense about those moments in which you are just happy to still be alive (I am still no excessive adrenaline junky^^)

And travelling anyway is an amazing thing and something that gave me even more intense feelings of happiness to be alive, those moments where you feel your heart so intensely as if it grows bigger at that moment and you just feel love for every thing and every body. I love human beings and our ability to share.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I could teach basic guitar stuff, but don´t think me a pro! I am definately not ;) I could teach the languages I speak or a funny exercise how to jump up best into the stand on a surfboard, I could come up with theatrepedagogic warm-up games (If I happen to remember some^^), and there is probably more to share :)

I´d like to learn foreign languages, well and anything you can and want to teach and show me!
