About Me

ABOUT ME

I love meeting great people, and travelling has always done that for me, a lot!

I am always intrigued by the often so subtle differences of the places we live in, and how these shape such large parts of our realities.

I am a pretty open person myself and love to learn from people.

Still, I have a very immature and wrong kind of humour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed two places in Berlin three places near/in Lisbon.
I've just loved the experience so far: I've been met with an amount of trust and openness by my hosts that is just amazing.

I am interested the most in how a place and life there feels from the inside. Also, I usually combine my travels with language learning goals. Couchsurfing has really been great for both so far.

Interests

Acrobatics, bodyweight training, fooling around on the floor, kendamas, synthesizers and drum machines, cycling, strolling, languages, linguistics, music, having conversations, nature, mountains, lakes and rivers, WATER in general and learning about other places!

I am a lazy reader but an avid watcher, listener and talker.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The probably natural desire in people to trust each other and how unimportant this renders factors like time you know each other, origin, age, gender, etc.
