About Me

I’m a PETE (Preservice Physical Education Teacher) student. I am interested in Physical Education and Sports Pedagogy and professional development in PE. Researching and making projects about Physical Literacy. I love traveling and discovering new places and meeting new people. I have a lot of respect for people, animals and nature. I am open to all kinds of differences. For me the most important life issue is to always move forward. I also see the necessity to improve myself every day, to develop my skills, knowledge and to go up life stairs becoming stronger. I don't afraid of difficulties and I am ready to change for the better.

“Living is all about three or five short happy moments.” When we are taught, our life consists of 3 main parts. Past tense, present tense, and future tense. Physically, no one, nothing ever is in the past or future. It is constantly located in the present but the mind can live in other times as well. In fact, it is inevitable not to be able to live in the present moment because of this. Try to find/continue your own unique journey while living in the moment.. at least that is what I'm trying to do, feel free to join anytime :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always thought that the connections that we form with locals and the cultures we experience are what really make travel meaningful.
I'm driven by the desire to experience the world beyond tourist spots.
Couchsurfing provides not only a place but incredible opportunity to connect with locals, learn from their perspectives, and create authentic memories that go beyond the surface.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I started to overcome my fear of water and learned to swim, we went canyoning with the team I was interning with. At one canyoning station, everyone had to jump from a height of 10 meters under a waterfall. Everyone on the team took turns jumping, leaving only me, who was afraid of jumping into the water and hitting the edge of the rocks, and an athlete who was afraid of heights. He didn't know how to speak English and I didn't know how to speak German, but somehow we communicated and supported each other so that we could jump and we both jumped. I realized that perspective and awareness have the power to make a big difference in life. After that jump into the cold water, my body was shivering not from the cold water but the adrenaline :D Canyoning was not so scary anymore and we had a lot of fun that day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach dance, most of the sports (especially racket sports, badminton) or how to play guitar ( I'm not a pro just playing for a hobby:) Uhm this list can go on like this but I don't like that it continues like this so... briefly
Music, art, history, cooking, gardening, sports, vintage, photography, philosophy, traveling... and many other topics I can't think of, we can share our knowledge and chat together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, drinks and conversations. If I have time, I would like to offer you a tour of the city to discover beautiful places and opportunities.
