CURRENT MISSION

Right now I am doing a research visit in the city of Stellenbosch, South Africa. After finishing I will travel with a friend throughout the country and explore the Garden Route. Any recommendations are welcomed!

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person, who loves to travel and learn about other cultures and languages. I felt in love with South America in 2008/09, when I lived and worked as a volunteer for one year in a public school in Ayacucho/Peru and doing an exchange in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2011/12. I met many interesting persons and characters throughout the world and think that traveling and meeting diferent kind of people can teach you more than any university could.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't really participated - thought I'm a member since 2008 - in the CS-Community until I was coming to Rio. I had such a great experience by being hosted by a carioca-girl, that I was wondering, why I had waited so long. Ever since I attended many meetings and made most of my friends in Brazil via couchsurfing. Most of these friendships remain until today.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted in Brasil (Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Salvador and Belém), Peru (Arequipa and Lima) and Italy (Trieste), attended various meetings in SP and Rio, met a lot of great people and found some amazing friends and finally I also did host people at my home(s). :)

兴趣

There is so much I'm interested in: Books, music, dancing Forró, cooking (even better, when I can do it for sb ^^), work out (like Krav Maga and Rugby (at least a half year before I was going to Brazil.. still don't understand all rules, but it's about running and getting dirty, so I love it!), not at least my studies.
