ABOUT ME

Life is like climbing 华山: it's all about stairs. But when you reach the top you understand that the best part of the journey was actually climbing those stairs...

I'm a very open minded person, I'm a former flight attendant. I love to travel the world and build connections between other human beings. I'm a dancer and I love rhythm: whiteout rhythm life is not possible. I usually pay extreme attention to friendship and human relations and I believe in human values. Every new friend is a new achievement, every friend loss is a learning experience too.
Last but not least, I love to have fun. But the good fun: music, talks, and new experiences.🎉

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Sleeping in the desert under the stars.

Teaching my little Chinese students about respect, team work, and cooperation.

Writing my (long) thesis about how climate change affected the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Climbing 华山 with amazing friends and sleeping (did we?)on the top waiting for the sunrise.

But the most amazing thing is: to be able to make the decisions I made in life and accept all the times I failed without compromising my mental health and still being happy about that!

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach foreign languages and oriental dance&folklore. I’ m a former lifeguard and flight attendant.

Dance is my life. I can't really help about that. You might spot me doing some stretching in the toilet or the metro lol.
Recently I fell in love with 新疆舞, and I support any kind of 广场舞.

I am into environmental science and environmental history.

I am really interested in the development of identities and landscapes, and how landscape identity could replace nationalism and state identity.
