About Me

ABOUT ME

An open-minded globalization-threated student from Germany who is eager to learn a new lesson from this crazy world from day to day anew.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately, it took a while until I finally signed up for a CS account. But after so many fantastic experiences from friends that I talked to I couldn't resist to say "Yes, that's what I want to do, too." I hope to be able to share my life experiences with different people from another (or the same) culture in order to learn and teach things that can be benificial for all of us.

Interests

I'm very interested in sustainability issues such as climate change, environmental protection, human rights, sustainable consumption and production etc. That's also why I'm studying what I'm studying right now. But don't be afraid of being lectured by me how to be a better human being. ;)

I'm also very interested in photography - meaning taking pictures and looking at good ones. You can have a look at some examples in the pictures section of my profile if you're interested.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read a lot - from crime stories to novels or spiritual stuff, doesn´t matter. Too hard say which one is my favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- studied in Hong Kong for one semester (the city is an amazing mix of Asian and Western culture, of nature and huge skyscrapers)

- stayed on a lonely and lovely island with turtles, rays and dreamy beaches on the Philippines for 4 days
