CURRENT MISSION

"The core of men's spirit comes from new experiences." (Into the Wild) Exploring the world and finding these experiences....and mastering the harmonica along the way!

ABOUT ME

Recently finished my master's in neuroscience and just started my PhD.
I think I'm quite open-minded and easy-going. I am defenitely interested and fascinated by different cultures and people. Always up for philosophic and scientific discussions!
I definitely enjoy traveling-me more than the everyday life counterpart. Way happier, energetic and adventurous! Meeting travelers tends to bring out these aspects of me, though.

Some of my hobbies are photography, reading, playing the guitar and harmonica (not simultaneously...I'm not that good at either), longboarding, and of couse traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

"A great trip is like a terrific Jazz solo. Musicians weave magic by playing unexpected, playful choices in real time."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed a few couches so far. Didn't get around to host, yet. Mostly my roommates at that time weren't ok with it.
Now I moved to Tübingen and hopefully can start to host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After my term abroad in Halifax, Canada, I went on a 1.5 month long trip across North America. Thanks to all my hosts this trip became simply amazing!
I haven't hosted myself, yet. But after experiencing the hospitality of my hosts, I really want to give that back somehow!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- A 1.5 months long journey across North America
- Skydiving in California
- Just sitting on a surfboard at a beach in Santa Cruz and watching the silhouettes of other surfers in the sunset

Teach, Learn, Share

I definitely want to learn how to surf! I've been surfing for the first time in Nova Scotia and then again in Santa Cruz. But hardly managed to stand on the board for more than 2 seconds!
I also started learning to play the harmonica. Seemed to me like a good instrument for traveling. I'm grateful for any tips on that or if you just want to jam!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and would be happy to show you some turkish dishes or just cook whatever we come up with!
You can probably also expect some neuroscience fun-facts!
