About Me

I'm 23, half Brit half German and I have recently graduated from a uni in the Netherlands. I have lived and worked in Bristol (UK) since then and have just come back from travelling in NZ. I am moving to Berlin for an internship and then a Master's in September and am looking to connect with people. I studied politics and philosophy and am currently in the process of publishing my first article. I love to travel and learn about different cultures and approaches to life, I play guitar almost daily and like to cook for others. I like to pick up hitchhikers but have unfortunately not yet lived in a place big enough to accommodate any other couch surfers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to connect with people who like to connect with people. Whilst travelling around the world the obvious has been proven to me - that the best way to learn about a place is to get to know the locals. I get along with pretty much everyone I've ever met and am always excited to learn more about people.

RIGHT NOW - I am moving to Berlin and am looking to connect with people and find out more about a city I am already very fond of. I am also looking for tips and help with finding accommodation for a friend and I.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: My family has been living without plastic for the last three years (and I have been getting better). I have learnt how this is possible and how easy it can be once you develop the habit. I am happy to discuss the issue and share ways in which people can cut down if they wish to do their bit in taking on plastic pollution.
Learn: I am always interested in people's passions and love to learn for its own sake.
