I'm 33, born & raised in a tiny village close to Stuttgart, Germany. I pretty much did everything & nothing in my life. The short version would be: School, several jobs (+ civil work), studying (communication studies), traveling + working abroad.

I currently work for an international culture institute (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen), headquartered in Stuttgart/Germany. I do press & alumni work for an intercultural work programme.

People would mostly describe me as laid-back, honest, humble, nature-loving and spontaneous.

I enjoy meeting new people, make new experiences and broaden my horizon in every kind of way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I follow the quote by Bill Nye, saying: „Everyone you’ll ever meet knows something you don’t!“ I’m curious learning from others. No matter what kind of learning experience it may be. Political discussions, listening to music or simply crashing a couch.

While living in Berlin (2009) my flatmate and I were able to host several international guests from Norway or Spain. I was happy to offer our lovely flat in India (2011) as well.
