ABOUT ME
Well, I'd describe myself as an open minded and relaxed person with that inner urge to travel about. Friends described me as a gentle, quite ambitious character. I'm a PhD student in Life Sciences in Dundee, Scotland, and like to hang out with friends :)
PHILOSOPHY
I like the idea of just staying open minded, doing what you think is right and staying true to friends and yourself anytime ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've been surfing couches in California in 2011 for my first time and I can't wait to get around again and again and hope for hospitality! You're welcome to stay at mine too, read the background information about my coach first please!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
In 2010/11 I was working/living in a Summer Camp near New York City with 150 staff from like 30 different countries and this experience made me think quite positive about meeting friendly people on my journeys! Furthermore I stayed in lots of Youth Hostels, met amazing ppl from all around the world and surfed a few couches in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Northern Italy, for example.
visited 18 states (8%)
Interests
I like (veggie) cooking and of course eating :D I'm doing sports like underwater-rugby and some fitness stuff. I also like to watch good tv-series and films with my flatmates or just having a nice talk and a hookah.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favorite movies are "fight club", "a beautiful mind", "A Clockwork Orange", "In China they eat dogs", "Batman (1966)", "Forrest Gump". I listen to many kinds of music but I'm mostly into alternative rock/punk. I love Terry Pratchett's discworld novels, read them a lot when I was younger but unfortunately dont have that much time to read (non-science stuff) anymore.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've seen a few beautiful landscapes, was pretty impressed by the Scottish Highlands, Manhatten's skyline or San Francisco and met a lot of awesome people on my journeys.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm studied Biochemistry and will try to explain the moleculare world :P or talk about music/films, drink a couple of good beer or wine, if you dont like beer :D or water, juice, soda, if you just like drinking in general!
