About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Nagasaki, Japan

ABOUT ME

I´ve come around the world quite a lot because of my dads job. Therefore I do well in adapting to new environments and getting along with others.
I´m doing my studies in Würzburg, Germany. Not just the studies themselves but also my fellow students really make me feel at home there. We help each other with problems concerning our studies as well as organizing a party.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now a have no couchsurfing-experience at all. But with 3 months of internship in Nagasaki ahead I´d absolutely love to to change that!

Interests

My studies are pretty time-consuming but I absolutely love them. My free time is mostly spent with my friends from home and from university. We often meet in order to cook or do sports together.
Additionally I really like dancing. The last two years I did Salsa. For the future I´m planning to do standard dance as well
During the semester break I try to see as much as possible of the world. One of the last trips for example was a road trip with a friend from school to Norway
