About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Doing things, learning things and meeting new people doing the same...

ABOUT ME

Studying Middle Eastern Studies and loving it (exspecially the language part), love meeting new people, going outside, growing plants on my balcony, cooking, being creative with... well kind of everything: colours, food, old stuff needing to get new, words... :0) loving a good laugh and a glas of wine

PHILOSOPHY

I'am, you are, let's be and find out more about other things and people being :0)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I have no couch I can only host when either me or one of my flatmates isn't around or if I'd share my bed with you (only doing that if I know you already, sorry..) But I'll gladly show you around Bern if I have time or give you tips of nice places to go to... and of course drink a nice cup of coffee anywhere that is not yet in your lonely-planet (hopefully ;0)) anyone wanting to go see the (real nice) valley-thing (no idea how to call it, thin water stream making its way thorough the hill) near the village i grew up in (Hägendorf) I'll be sure to find you a bed near there! ;0)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Was hosted by two very different kind of hosts, both really good experiences, would like to further explore the world couchsurfing

Interests

Reading, laughing, thinking, painting, cooking, photographing, talking, walking outside, power-yoga, listening and dancing to music, haunting second hand stores for "trouvailles", looking at beautyful things like old (and sometimes new) buildings, people, nature, animals...

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to most kinds of music... not very much enjoying heavy metal or totally brainless texts though... at the moment Mashrua Layla, Trio Mandili, Kate Nash... film music by Hans Zimmer,Simon&Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra are always good...
Books Der Schatten des Windes, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Le petit prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Walter Moers, besonders Die Stadt der träumenden Bücher, Gott im Reiskorn,... and never consider yourself too old to read Astrid Lindgreen or Michael Ende (can always read them to a kid :0))
