ABOUT ME

a little enthusiastic bundle of energy and zest for life !
I don't do anything in halfs - I put everything I've got into it !
I'm always up for new adventures; I enjoy spending time outdoors in good company.
I love to go out, socialise and meet new people. I love love loooove to travel the world and visit all those beautiful people + places!

#Born and raised in Cologne and happy to be here, this is where my heart belongs.

PHILOSOPHY (meaning ‘the love of wisdom’; the study of knowledge, or "thinking about thinking")

"Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in."

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."
(Woodrow Wilson)

"We teach because in a world where there is little hope, teachers can be the only light for a child who’s been left in the dark."

"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present."
(Alice Morse Earle)

“It is with our judgments as with our watches: no two go just alike, yet each believes his own.”
(Alexander Pope)

"No Man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; [...] and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." (John Donne)

"Ich will ein fremdes Land bereisen,
seine Berge bewandern,
seine Küsten erforschen,
die rauen Klippen besteigen
und Halt finden am lebensrettenden Vorsprung.
Ich will die fremden Winde spüren
und den warmen Regen auf meinen Wangen.
Meine Hände will ich in seine Erde graben.
Seine Wurzeln fühlen will ich,
schmecken sein Salz und riechen
den Duft seiner weiten Täler.
Und ich will kämpfen mit dem Land,
mich messen mit seinem Willen,
seine und meine Grenzen erforschen,
bis der Schlaf kommt und ich mich bette
auf den Blättern seines Herbstes."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm most happy to meet up for drinks, show you around in my beloved home city Cologne and dive into its beautiful culture & spirit! :) Celebrating Carnival never stops here, not even for the Christmas markets :D Unfortunately, I'd love to host but sadly it isn't allowed by my student's residence landlord, sorry!

When I travel I love to get to know the locals and their customs and am always up for a challenge. I am keen on learning about cultures and customs that are different than my own, and enjoy a deep conversation, whether it be philosophical or spiritual or else. I definitely believe that life is something to explore and experience firsthand.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed on Steve's couch in Manchester and I really mean it when I say the time I was so lucky to spend with him, Ola and their hedgehog Mrs Malibu was such an incredible experience! They really made our stay unique and exceptionally enjoyable!!! Thanks for inviting me to the couchsurfing meeting where I got the opportunity to meet all these amazing people. The first impression convinced me completely hence I'm absolutely enthusiastic about couchsurfing! =)
My second couchsurfing experience lasted for 5 days when I was hosted by Tiffany in Penzance, Cornwall. It was a great pleasure to stay at hers and she helped me a lot with her incredible knowledge of the area and her funny stories about her world journeys amused me so much as well. And I learned how to make fire :)

Interests

I appreciate almost every kind of sport e.g. athletics, swimming, cycling, skiing, trampolining...
For 10 years I have been dancing ballroom and latin dances - Salsa in particular- with devotion. My new passion is dancing Rock 'n' Roll acrobatics :):)
Moreover, I am interested in literature, movies and music that's why one can find me in libraries, cinemas and concerts frequently. For me, travelling is a great opportunity to dip into other cultures and to experience others and myself as well. Cultural diversity as mutual enrichment.
