Overview
About Me
Student. Amateur pianist. Swimmer. curious. Booklover. Polyglot. Aspiring urban planner. Person with a pencil and a sketchbook. Right now in the process of coming back to Germany after two semesters abroad.
As many of you I love learning languages and meeting new people. I'm quite a nerd for history, philosophy and literature, about the bigger ideas and contexts of what happens, has happened and will happen in this world.
There is actually nothing more relaxing than walking around town at night when all the big crowds have gone and you can look at the buildings and speculate about what has happened in this place during daytime. Give me some music, a place not everybody knows about and people who can tell stories. That would be my paradise.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I don't like being a tourist who stays in a hotel and just takes photos of all the "sights" all day long. It is so much more interesting to get to know a place from the point of view of someone living there.

Teach, Learn, Share
If you have a piano or if you like singing and need someone to do the alto voice, I'd love jamming with you.
If you are interested in German politics, useless facts on linguistics or philosophizing about everything and nothing, I am always open for a conversation. Of course, I would love teaching you German tongue-twisters or usefull stuff in my mother tongue.
And whatever else is needed in the house, tell me. While living with eight other students in Chile I became quite an expert in unblocking toilets and washing the dishes effectively.
