About Me
CURRENT MISSION
During the covid-shutdown I had to cancel all my travel plans :'( (Brazil, Peru perhaps another trip to Canada).
I setteld down in Bordeaux, France and work here as a university teacher. I'm waiting for 2021 to let us out of this situation....
ABOUT ME
I'm an curious, young woman from Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany who loves travelling. I've worked in Leipzig as a teacher for 1,5 years. I'm half french so I can speak french quite well and I love the county and the people.
Three important things in my life: eating good food, dancing to music and all kinds of art :D
I've done a sabbatical year after having finished my studies. I left Germany in August 2019 and I was travelling around Canada/Québec, New York, France and Austria ans Portugal till covid-shutdown in march 2020 ...
MY FLAT
I am currently living in an flat with 3 other people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to collect more experience! I stayed in a few places in Germany, France, Canada, the U.S. and La Réunion.
Interests
I love hanging around with people, learn other languages, and collect experience and recipes from other countrys (my father was a cook so i love cooking/baking and eating as well :D). I play the violin for 13 years now - i love hearing and making music with my friends and also going to festivals and concerts. I'm very interested in arts and visit museums as often as I can .... actually I have many interests so don't hasitate to ask me :))

Music, Movies, and Books
MUSIC is a big part of my everyday life ... I actually don't leave home without my earphones :D I love to sing, play Instruments (violin, a bit of guitar and percussion) and dance! Im very open to all styles of music and spend much time and money on concerts and festivals :)
If I had to choose a genre of music ...
Live Concerts: 70s and 80s Hard Rock and metal.
Listening on the go: 40s to 70s female american or french Jazzsingers (Fitzgerald, Piaf, Simone, Lee...)
Dancing: I do ballroom dancing for 10 years now, in the cubs I prefer dancehall/ragggae, drum n base or 90s classics
FILMS. I love to go to independant film theaters.
My favourits are perhaps Inception, Captain Fantastic, Dead Poets Society and most of the studio ghibli and laica studio films.
Oh... and I don't like BOOKS beside grafic novels ... they bore me...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
-- Being a marriage witness in Central Park, NYC to a couple I didn't know at all.
-- Living and studying 6 months on the tropical french island "La Réunion" in the indian ocean.
-- Travelling to Iran and wearing a Hijab.
Teach, Learn, Share
As I am a teacher I think teaching and learning are the most important parts in live. I'm sure that anyone can be a good teacher who really loves what s_he is teaching about.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can teach you some French and I love speaking about arts and it's philosophy ;) I often take with me my guitar or violin so we can make musik together or i'll show you some chords. Further I love cooking and baking so I can show you some german and Austrian dishes (because my grandmother is from Austria ;) ...
