CURRENT MISSION

Writing on my thesis in history and planning archival research in Athens

ABOUT ME

I'm half German and half Greek, but after travelling a lot, I just feel anational. What does a nationality matter at all?
I grew up in Berlin and trained for many years in a youth circus. My slackline is still often with me :)
After doing my Bachelors in Psychology inn Berlin, I decided to do a big change. I moved to Israel and I study Middle Eastern studies now.

PHILOSOPHY

the sharp lines of a leaf's shadow on the wall... the smell of summer... a small stone in the icy water of a mountain river!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment just surfing because my apartment is really small and I often have friends or family over, so I can't offer a couch. But I'm looking forward to the time I will be able to :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was mostly surfing myself in Netherlands, Israel, and on the Balkan. Until now I made only good experiences.

Interests

Well, quite hard to put everything in just a few sentences. Travelling of cours, that's why I am here :) I enjoy fotography, especially analog black and white. Circus, being so nervous befor going on stage and so happy afterwards!!! Swimming and snorkeling in the sea.
Sitting all day in a cafe, reading and drinking one coffe after the other and observing the people walking by.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading a lot. I always carry a book with me. In German there is an expresion for people like me: Bücherwurm (bookworm) The last book i liked a lot is: "When Nitzsche Wept"
My favourite mouvie changes with every good mouvie I see. So I can't decide for one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago, as I worked in an elderly home in Jerusalem, I got to know a 94 year old women. Despite the age differece of 74 years she became one of my best friends. It was amazing to experience her vitality and humor. She never spoke about her youth during the second world war, but one day she told me the story of her life.

Teach, Learn, Share

If we meet one day we will find out.
I think every encounter with every person teaches us something, often we realise that only some time later.
