About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a traveler, dreamer and very curious person who loves adventures and challenges in life. I used every chance to go abroad during my studies and try to settle at least for a bit now- while traveling again from time to time ;). I am curious about everyone and everything, like to questions things and am willing to work hard to achieve my aims.

My main interest when traveling are people: observing, listening and trying to understand their way of living, thinking and interactions.

I am vegetarian since I am 9 years old and it came out of inner conviction.

PHILOSOPHY
Take the paths no one has ever been so you can be certain you'll leave a visible trail, and not just churn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed many couches in many countries and was often overwhelmed by the hospitality of the people. For me it is the only way I really enjoy my journeys because it gives me the deepest inisghts into the culture and the exchange is enriching for both sides.
