About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for a new one

ABOUT ME
Italian/german girl, and indeed a mix of both cultures !!!
Born and grown up in Germany and since 2014 living in Italy, Milan.

I'm a Human Biologist with a PhD in cancer research. After travelling through whole Italy in Aug 2019, I ended my contract and continued to travel and volunteer in south Italy, Jordan, Africa and visited the US.

In Jan 2020 I started my Post Doc in Nanosciences, back again in Milan. Just cause I was somehow in love with Italy❤️🇮🇹....
Today I'd say staying was my biggest mistake .....but I don't regret it cause I know where my heart was and the years of COVID thought me a lot, changed me quite a bit. And COVID does not play a role in that!

Now I am trying to figure out where my next chapter is gonna take place ...and enjoy my last week's/months here.

I'm open-minded, curious and pretty direct.
I like deep conversations, to learn, to get new points of view. But I can also talk bullshit and laugh 😁

I'm really into electronic music.

I can be talkative, I can be quiet.

When I host, I dont make a big deal out of having CS guest, things should be smooth and easy and as if it was your home too, andwe'll get along :)
whether there are guys or girls at my place, I walk around in shorts and shirts as I always do .... I try to do my stuff as I always do and will tell you whether I feel like going out or not, I barely do things just cause of politeness but cause I really want it and so should you :)

(however I AM usually polite 😅)

I'm 100% lgbt or other stuff friendly
However, if you think you're an animal or sth non human, born in a human body ... I'm not there yet.


PHILOSOPHies

- treat how u wanna be treated

- wake up and be grateful, be happy

- if u wanna grow, go out and meet people

- You choose how you live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of helping, without expecting stomething back.... if one wants to travel (only) and/or learn about new culutres or people, money shouldnt be a limit .... possibilities should be taken.....

I like to get in contact with / learn from people and this brings such different people together....

Music, Movies, and Books

electronically flavoured music is my favorite but I started to appreciate and enjoy also

classic music, chilly music and rock, or pop... all depends on the mood and day time

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Roadtrip alone through Jordan and waking up in the desert of Wadi Rum after camping with one of the guides and absolutely NO phone connection...
The entire trip I've done alone in 2019/2020 in places mostly far from toursim

Everydaylife in Thailand, far from touristic places

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about biology, diseases, nutrition...Italian vs German lifestyle 😅

I'd like to learn how to avoid procrastinating

I can share thoughts and opinions about everything I went through and think about

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talking about experiences and expectations,.....
maybe going out where I use to go out and giving advices of what to see and how to plan your journey in Milan and Italy

A glass of wine, a pint or tea/coffee in the morning :)
