Couchsurfing-newbie (first trip 2016 exploring Finland with the greatest help of hosts, thanks to you guys!), so some things first:

When I'm asking for hospitality:
- If I send short messages to you just be sure I've however read your profile, want to stay with YOU and I don't write 10 persons the same request. But, please understand that it's just frustrating to have messages ignored, also shortly denied when I took much time to write, or people accepting and then changing their mind. If I write you that unpersonal with a specific date it's because I want to know what's the case and plan the route (not so fun part). Of course I'm flexible with the date if we talk and of course that doesn't mean I won't be thankful and excited to spend time with you, of course you have every right to not accept the request with an also short "no" when you've read my profile and can't imagine to host me. But let's be honest and more direct - and discuss in long about everything when we see us? I'm paying for the "philosophical beer" (fun part) :p
- If I send last minute requests I expect nothing but a space on a floor inside a building. I find it rather rude to ask that spontaneously and I probably only do it when something unexpected happened. So be sure I'm not a mindless person, I'm just a bit worried then.

If you're asking for my hospitality: Welcome. I'm most likely having space and time for you and am happy to share! Last minute requests, no or not many references or honest "just a free sleeping place" requests make you not a bad person for me and we'll probably get along eitherway :)

So, that's it. Now more about the soul you might share your place with. I'm uncomplicated and modest. Studying social work in Germany and still believing that mankind can be social in it's loveliest meaning.

I'm smiling and laughing a lot and I guess I'm a calm and balanced person who just wants to do no harm to earth, humanity or any kind of life on earth.
I'm vegan for myself and I have no property, yet I'm fine with people living their lives. I won't complain but rather celebrate it with you as your guest. I'm always curious about life(styles).

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

because I know myself good enough to be sure I'll need some very kind people offering some space in their homes when wanderlust is getting too painful to ignore for me :)
of course I'd also love to welcome you in my home whenever you need a place to stay!

Interessen

so far, I'd say I'm a creative person. Not always in the positive way (for myself), sometimes I'm also just lost in my own mind. I love nature - just wandering around and getting lost in the forest maybe is a good match with my colorful mind ;)
I'm reading a lot and like to write my own texts, I like to photopgraph people, beautiful landscapes and peaceful moments of any kind, but what I like most is forgetting to capture moments with my camera because I'm too busy living in them.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

I'm mostly listening to acoustic/indie stuff, punk- and post-rock and hardcore, post (black) metal, atmospheric and melodic metal, but I'm fine with any kind of music that (wants to) make sense, even if it's just to make people grin like idiots and dance (reggae(dancehall) is great sometimes)

Books: Stuff from Murakami, Kafka, Hesse, Gavalda, Palahniuk

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Decided to live, again and again and again

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Some cooking skills or/and a helping hand, company and stories whenever you feel like talking, enough space and time as you want, but always motivation to help you with something or explore something together.

Länder, die ich besucht habe

Denmark, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
