I have a B.A. in German as a second language and now started to study some great combination of literature, philosophy and culture as a master.
I'm working a few hours a week as a German teacher for foreign learners. Most of the time I enjoy spending time with my friends, reading, writing, taking photos and especially in summer I need to catch as much sun as possible. I definitely appreciate the virtues of student life and love to have a special day/night rythm, partying, going out for a glass of whine, chat until sunrise and collect stories for my grandchildren.
I'm living in Tübingen in the centre in a wonderful flat share of 4, with very nice roof windows and an amazing view on the castle and the old city. Everyone who believes in peace and respect is welcome to stay for a few days.

I travelled through Israel, Palestine and Jordan in January, it was amazing :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm the most curious person on earth.

I experienced that I meet the right person in the right time, if you keep an eye on that and feel that the fact your paths crossed was meant to be, isn't that wonderful?

Interests

I'm writing poems and other texts and I teach myself in photography at the moment. I want to try now, whether journalistic work is something for me.

I don't know the feeling of being bored, there is always something to think about for me and if not I really love to just breathe! And be happy :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
trying to get to know more and more of the world literature sometimes not very patient because there is so much to read, on the way fell in love with:
Proust, Stifter, Bachmann, Celan, Flaubert, Bloch, Hesse, Dostojewsky, Böll, Hofmannsthal, Rilke...
and of course with many rather unknown :)

Music:
at home: Dreamy :) singer-songwriter, indie...so indeed you should be able to stand Katie Melua or Birdy next to you ;) but doesn't have to be loud

for dancing: with great people and happy atmosphere it can be everything but usually I prefer electro (house) and just beeing there, without time, loosing myself a bit
