I´m studying in Tübingen. More than loving to sit in a lecture hall, I love being around, sitting in the sun or in a "Stocherkahn" (you will have to google that but it´s something Tübingen is rather famous for). I´m very open-minded, like to hear stories about other people´s lives and life-experiences, and I´m a very happy and positive-thinking person.

"The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it" (Not Max Weber but Karl Marx).

Working with Amnesty Tübingen and Edinburgh, asylum seeker workings groups, ICAN (international campaign for abolishing nuclear weapons) helps me to change the world at least a wee bit. But it´s still a whole lot of stuff to do. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first lied on a couch in Stockholm which I enjoyed not only because of a having a roof over my head but because it felt rather like a home from which I started in the morning and came back in the evening.
The mission is therefore to offer a home for other people in my place and to experience good times.
