About Me

CURRENT MISSION

qualify for Boston Marathon

ABOUT ME

I´m a cheerful, fun, sometimes a little impatient person with a big heart and always keen on making new experiences and getting to know interesting people. That´s why Berlin is the perfect city for me - you got plenty of opportunities here. I love to travel and make friends all over the world.

One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
All good things are wild and free. (Henry David Thoreau)
Lohnarbeit macht das Denken unruhig. (Aristoteles)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can provide you my small couch or a mattress on the floor and if I have time I can show you around in my beloved Berlin. At the moment I´m working at PullProxy, a booking agency for underground techno artists (https://www.facebook.com/PullProxy), so I´m always up to date with techno partys, Open Airs and stuff..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

awesome so far

Interests

My biggest passion is music (techno, ambient, classical, industrial, italo disco, glamourous indie rock´n roll - check my last.fm to see how we match: http://www.lastfm.de/user/MaryMalicious) and my second biggest is sports (long distance running, yoga, fitness).
Plus I´m interested in photography, I´m taking my Nikon or Lumix everywhere I´m going; I love to draw, write or do other creative stuff.. not to forget discussing all sorts of things.. and I love to party, that´s why I moved to Berlin.. with its great variety of people and places it´s the best city I´ve been to so far and I wanna stay here for a while..
