ABOUT ME
Hi there, I am a psychologist, music lover and hiking fan.
I would describe myself as open-minded, sociable and always keen to learn something and make new experiences to broaden my mind. I love to travel, to discover unknown places, to be outside in the nature, to try new things (food, drinks, sports,...) and to share and exchange experiences with other people.

PHILOSOPHY
“We are not perfect human beings, nor do we have to pretend to be, but it is necessary for us to be the best version of ourselves we can be.“ (Satsuki Shibuya)

Be nice and kind, treat others with respect and strive to broaden your horizon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After all I love to get insights from locals who can recommend far more interesting things to do / see / experience than just the touristic standard attractions. On top it is always nice to get to know new people, meet different characters and to become acquainted with other views and experiences. So far, I have been really lucky to have had some amazing hosts who spent a lot of their time with me and showed me around their favourite places of their hometowns. That's why I enjoy CS a lot :)

Interests

• live music

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to Folk-Rock, Indie-Rock, Rock, "good mood" electronic music - actually I like several styles of music, it always depends on the band (e.g. Mumford and Sons, Jimmy Eat World, Bear's Den, Muse, Kaleo, ...)

Regarding movies, there are way too many good films in this world but my favourite one is definitely Forrest Gump. Also Instinct, Philadelphia, Fight Club, ...

I especially love reading books from Ken Follett, Greg Iles and Asa Larsson.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some German words, give you some good travel recommendations, I am open-minded and sociable but also very respectful and tidy. I can cook a nice meal and I am always up to spontaneous activities, especially when it has something to do with live music and/or a nice glass of beer or outdoor sports ;)
