About Me

It is my passion to question what seems to not worthy to be questioned. That's why research in sensory and cognition is my vocation. I like to carry out thorough researches, playing games, doing sport to increase my fitness level and especially hearing and making music, among other things. Making music (singing, playing the guitar, bass and somewhat cello) is a hobby of mine, which I am currently not able to life out that often, as my thesis is catching all my attention.

But nevertheless, I would say I am a pretty responsible, open minded guest and host. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my bachelor's degree, and currently my master thesis, I have imagined again and again, how it probably is to go abroad? But with my work as a student assistant of the research group 'Physics of Cognition', my enthusiastic way of studying, many other projects and financial problems of my relatively poor family, I have never plucked up courage, to go abroad, just for me. These excuses have overwhelmed my desire to take the next step.... To learn more about other people, from pretty different cultures and with interesting point of views. It`s time for changes! For me Couchsurfing is one of these little changes on my way of life with more exploration and lived out curiosity!

Music, Movies, and Books

Series:

I am not reading many novels at all, rather reading papers, articles and playing or watching (inspiring or just relaxing) pc & console games.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I perceive this as an enormous difficult question. Most rather, I remember people's helpfulness and their interesting lifestyles, which I experience day-to-day: During my work in the laboratory with participants..., during traveling and if I almost lose or forget something (not that uncommon to me :D)...
