About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keeping everything (work, studies and travelling) organized, quite a task!

ABOUT ME

Well, I study cultural sciences (somewhat like international relations), most of my studies are focussed on English and Business. I'm a trained translator for English and German, I spent some time abroad in England, the US and Colombia (south america).
I have a small business and make some money with photograpy (it's more like getting paid for a hobby :-) ).

PHILOSOPHY

Get up late and don't go to bed before the work is done.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Contact me if you need some advice about travelling in Germany, I grew up in the east so I might be of help there, too.
Also drop me a line if you are going to spend some time in the ruhr-area.
