About Me

I am German by father and Italian by mother, so one could say that I am very European, but I prefer to see myself as citizen of the world. I live in France at the moment, working in a family as Au-Pair, babysitting the children, and continuing also my studies in philosophy at the college of Aix en Provence. I think to be a quite nice person, I need my space and liberty, but when I am with other people I love smiling and having good time, and that's why I travel a lot, to see new and different things and place, meet interesting people, know other perspectives and point of views!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great system to bring people from all around the world together and give the possibility to support each other and pass some great moments together. Until now, I had always just beautiful experiences with my hosts and couchsurfers!

Interests

I like a lot of things...sports, like swimming, soccer and snowboarding. Read, above all philosophy and poetry, but also the classical great novels. Travelling, I had the chance to see many different places, and it's my main objective to see every country in the world, impossible but the hope is the last to die as the wise man says.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to every kind of music, punk rock, hip hop, blues, classical, but it depends above all of my mood. Favourite movies and books hmm Trainspotting, Dogville, Amélie; books, difficult question, but i think.."The Idiot" by Dostojevskij, "Uno, nessuno, centomila" by Pirandello and the poems of Wisława Szymborska

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have to say that: waking up every morning and live another day..isn't that just amazing?!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach is what I maybe know best, like languages, philosophy, soccer tricks, playing beer pong of course, fundamental for surviving! I share everything with whom wants to share with me. Learn, I always want to learn anything from anyone!

My experiences, my life, my beer!
