Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am looking forward to meet new people during my travel adventures.
ABOUT ME
Hey Couchsurfers,
I currently explore the beautiful Pacific Northwest, staying close to Seattle.
I am a very open-minded person who loves to travel. I usually live in the beautiful city of Muenster located in the West of Germany, one of the most beautiful cities in Germany, if you ask me ;) Rich history, nice restaurants and cafes and a bike culture you will probably find nowhere else.
Besides studying English and Social Sciences to become a teacher one day, I do a lot of voluntary work (Rock Your Life! Muenster and Fachschaft GHR) and earn some money to get along. I also love to cook. About eight years ago I stopped eating meat and I've been vegan for three years now.
PHILOSOPHY
I don't have a special philosophy. I just want to do what I think is right and try to do my best in making the world a little bit better (e.g. by being a vegan and doing voluntary work). Helping people who are not as priviliged as me is very fulfilling for me.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would love to share. This means I will not only take advantage of other people's couches ;) But I will also offer the couch in my the beatiful house I share with four other people in Muenster when I am home. My roommates are very engaged in the Couchsurfing Community as well and I want to join as well :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My Couchsurfing experience is very small at the moment. I crushed on a girl's couch in Berlin a couple of years ago. But I definetly want to change that :) I have also been very lucky to have many friends in the PNW area. So I'd also love to explore the area, so I am always looking for hiking buddies to go to the Cascades, for example.

Books (just to list a few): 1984 (all time classic), the God of Small Things, Never Let Me Go (Kazuo Ishiguro), almost all books from Paolo Coelho.
Music: Rock'n Roll, Alternative, Blues, Singer Songwriter
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I really enjoy being able to study and live in beautiful Muenster. I love every new experience while traveling and getting to know other cultures.
One of my highlights was my trip through the US from New Orleans - Memphis - Chicago - Electric Music Festival - Boston - New York City.
