About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I'm traveling to Switzerland in summer to work on a local farm and in fall I will visit the whales and bears on Vancouver Island in Canada and explore some surfing there!

ABOUT ME

Hey fellow couchsurfers! I am a student from Leverkusen, Germany who loves to travel and explore other countries and cultures.
I study international relations and development and work as a freelance writer for a local newspaper.
I'm a passionate climber and surfer though I might be the worst surfer of all times.

PHILOSOPHY
The world needs more positive news.
Never start a day without coffee.
