CURRENT MISSION

Want to become a German as a foreign language teacher in Spain/Latin-America

ABOUT ME

I am curious, kind and open minded. I jog almost every day, so I am quite fit. I love yoga, too. I do not belong to that superficial, money-grubbing group of people, I rather see myself as a post-materialist. I am politically aware and my friends like my humor, charism, education and creativity. Also I think I am a quite good cook and I think vegetarian cuisine is a greater challenge than dishes that contain meat

PHILOSOPHY

I practise buddhism and I am a veggie

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I loved my research in Japan for my thesis in which I compared the visual style of Japanese manga, anime, computergames with German expressionist silent moviels and film noir
When I was eleven I lived in the United States for one year. I travelled through North America with my father and was amazed by the beauty of all those National parks we visited.
