Life is great and I highly enjoy living : )

I´m very passionate about my PhD field in Sustainable agriculture, food security, natural sciences and all kinds of societal development issues. On the other side I have strong philosphical and arts tendencies, I love literature and generally the capacity to express oneself - words shape reality!

I lived abroad a couple of times and currently work in Bonn (Germany) where I conduct my PhD.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I get a lot of energy by human encounters

then as well - my lasting travel memories were not so much about all the different landscapes,
but about the people ! incredibly kind, generous and funny souls from whom I learned a lot. Different ways of living I will never forget : )

兴趣

"consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds" - I try to integrate and accept all kinds of different domains and tendencies of life which I consider to be interesting and wholesome.

or in other words: Gardening during the daytime and raving during the nighttime : )
