Was born in Berlin and after passing my final exams in a high school I decided moving for 12 months to Uganda. I lived in Uganda’s beautiful and inspiring capitol Kampala. I worked in the German department of Mengo-Senior-School and experienced during my time in east Africa how much worth it is to gather impressions from other landscapes then my loved Berlin as source of inspiration. During school politics and German were my absolute fav subjects but decided to study psychology instead of political sciences in the future. I did a full internship in an academy for emotional intelligence and became a trainer for a method of emotion recognition which is called “Mimikresonanz” while fighting with my a-level examinations. I felt in love with the field of emotional intelligence and nonverbal communication. In addition, I am excited about meditation, playing Fifa with friends, wise books and public speaking. In the field of sport windsurfing and snookering are my favorites.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So far so good. Personally, I plan to spend as much time as possible outside of my well know home and that’s why I am here. Discovered in Uganda the time in other regions of the world as massive source of inspiration and my balance to work. I see traveling also as kind of time for adjustments and fixtures of core believes and values in my life (sounds more serious then it meant to be…).

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard for me to say that for music and films because I am completely lost if it’s about names … Additionally, I can’t offer a defined taste of music. Generally I love certain kinds of bass dropping techno, club and dubstep tracks but also impressive orchestral scores especially of movies and series like GoT or Pirates of the Caribbean. I also listen to German rap and pop charts … Hope you see I am a mess if it’s about music.

Let’s talk about series: Game of Thrones, Suites, La Casa de Pappel, Narcos, Designated Survivor, the rain, House of cards, Lost and modern family are my loved ones.
