About Me

When I am stucked in Fulda, I enjoy having guests with diverse (cultural) backgrounds who enrich me with their attitudes and experiences. On travels I always try to do not make any expectations then I can really enjoy the beauty of each place. The same for people: I reject prejudices and rash judgments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started couchsurfing when I was living and volunteering in Turkey and since then I surfed in many countries. There's no better way of travelling for me.

Interests

I've studied Social Sciences which really helped me to question social structures and (my own) attitudes. After some years working I decided to study Computer Science - and I LOVE that as well.

Generally I prefer doing things by myself rather than buying. So I enjoy gardening, cooking, baking, sewing, carpentry, upcycling...

Hiking frees my soul. One of my dreams is to cross the Alps by foot.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like watching all kind of TV shows in winter time and reading novels in summer time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To hitchhike through the East of Turkey, amazed by the beautiful landscape and the helpful people we met on the road. I also love the Balkans and plan to go there soon again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't fear taboos! Let's irritate and surprise each other - that's the really fruitful way of learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I cannot answer request that come earlier than three weeks in advance. In the opposite: last minute is better for me.
