I love to cook and eat healthy (of course sometimes I cheat but only sometimes)
I am vegetarian & I can't eat Cow's milk (I am allergic... this is the weirdest thing on earth)

On top of this I am currently a university student studying Environmental Sciences & Natural Sciences Biology. I want to continue my studies after this and become a marine biologist & oceanographer and protect marine life and all other, dependent on our oceans (well, it actually includes all human beings).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had no money and I wanted to travel. Couchsurfing gave me the chance. It was wonderful. Later on, I had no money again but I had a nice apartment and lots of free time so I was wondering to have some fun and offer a mattress (sometimes my bed as well) for others to come. This period belongs to the best times in my life so far. And the best thing that it’s the best way for fun to go to a new place and spend time with locals. So that's why...
