About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Real traveling doesn't only mean seeing all the places, it's about getting to know people!

ABOUT ME

Now I have been participating for quite a while and this little space was still left blank...
Time to do something about it.
However, better than reading any description written by myself is getting to know me ;)
I love traveling, wandering around without a map getting lost and therefore discovering new places. I don't do much planing, especially when I am traveling, I just let things happen and I get the best experiences from this!
Being in college right now, there isn't that much time and money for traveling, but I still enjoy hosting people from everywhere for a night or two and getting to know people. We might click, we might not, but at least you have a roof above your head ;)
I like moving my body into weird positions in the morning... also known as doing yoga. Literature is another great hobby of mine. I also (try...) to write stuff myself, novels, short stories, poetry. I like to cook and create delicious vegan meals. So if you're a vegan or interested in veganism, we'll have a lot to talk about!
And of course, I am interested in psychology. Which helps, when you are studying this subject ;)
One more thing you might want to know about me: I am vegan, which means, I don't eat or use anything that consists of or includes animal derived products such as milk, eggs, meat, ... And I would ask you not to consume meat at my place, too. I don't mind what you decide to eat any other time. You can also put a yogurt in my fridge if you want, everyone has to make these decisions for himself. I also don't mind staying at a non-vegan / non-Vegetarien place. No problem at all. And I don't think bad about non-vegans... please don't think of me as a militant and preaching person, I am certainly not like that! If you have any questions, just ask!

PHILOSOPHY

Life.

Be.

It is more than surviving...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling and hosting.
I currently share a two room apartment with my boyfriend. It's small, but we are happy to share our little place with you! We live in a nice area, you can take great walks through the vineyards from here..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been staying at a couchsurfers' place in Hamburg, which was really great. During the day, we explored the city and one evening, we cooked together and had a great diner.
I also hosted a couple from Bulgaria and a Canadian cyclist, two more great experiences!
