About Me

My life has become much more routined and structured in the past years, settling down a bit in Berlin, valuing the things and amazing people I have there instead of always searching for new adventures like in my 20s, focusing more on work etc. But every now and then I like to break out of my hospital shift life and get back into the travellers spirit with no plans and an open heart for encounters with people and places that cannot be planned.

I am training to be a paediatrician and I love my job, but I also feel that there's so much more out there in the world to be seen and experienced. So right now I'm on a 7 month sabbatical and super excited to be travelling around South Asia (how will I deal with all the bland food when I get back to Germany?!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's an amazing way to travel and always enriching

Interests

Politics and sociology issues, equality and privilege, the outrageous differences in wealth around the world and how to fight them.

Being outdoors doing outdoor things is my happy place, be it camping, rock climbing, hiking, biking, etc. And in the city, taking my bike everywhere.

Music of course, it is always on when I'm at home. Singing, but only if no one is listening; concerts, music festivals, dancing to anything from pop to techno.

Music, Movies, and Books

Good music can come in (almost) any genre - I can find my flow in 80s pop Musik, Balkan folk, classical orchestra, beatboxing or deep house if the vibe is right!

To me, the best series will forever remain Friends. Soon I will know it all off by heart...

Books I like: too many to include on this list, currently enjoying Leïla Slimani's books

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

It goes without saying to me that I'll help with normal household stuff if I stay at yours. Also I can bake my grandma's amazing cheesecake for you and if you want we can go rock climbing or Bouldering.
