About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to experience new things. Listening to other peoples life stories and getting insight into their experiences often inspires me. Respect means a lot to me, because there is no absolute truth and everyone is finally just trying to make the best out of their lives.

I love everything that connects me... with myself, with other persons, with nature. Practically things like horsebackriding, dancing, yoga, capoeira and hiking have become my passion.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all lying in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in Kyrgystan, Turkey, Armenia and Iran so far and always had amazing experiences with wonderful people that were so kind and hospitable!

Interests

travelling, horsebackriding, capoeira, hiking, dancing, reading, art, cultures, drawing, spirituality, philosophy, psychology

through studying social work I found social and gender sciences increasingly interesting which expanded my learning focus on privileges, discrimination and empowerment - core issues which we all find ourselves confronted with especially while traveling. wanna talk? :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I am fascinated by the power of words and their limits. And I love it when books and movies give me insight in how people lived in certain times and circumstances.

I read many types of books - phantasy, romans, biographys, classics. Best authors: Hermann Hesse, Michael Ende, Franz Kafka, Haruki Murakami, Goethe

In terms of music I listen to almost any stuff. Depends on the day and my mood. Generes from rap to folk to electronic, classical, rock or punk music. Most important is that it moves me!
