About Me

Ok, I won't use cliché statements like,"I am fun-loving..blah blah" but seriously, I am quite awesome when I am in the company of fun-loving people. :) I am new in town and I want to travel, have fun, and of course, socialize! So any English&German-speaking person out there who knows Chemnitz in-and-out?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to the couchsurfing "family". But I would love to host...IF you are willing to overlook the fact that I live in a dormitory and one bedroom/study is all I have. So, if all you need is a mattress on a floor to crash, then you are welcome! :)

Interests

I might be a student of Science and Engineering but I love art, music and I am a MAJOR movie buff! I'm very passionate about cinema.
Someday, I hope to finally finish learning the violin.
I paint. I sketch. And I read. A LOT!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two actually! Went mountain-climbing in The Alps in South Tyrol near the Austria-Italy border. Participated in a hitchhiking race in May 2014 and discovered Northern Bavaria and met some wonderful people on the road. Great, memorable conversations!
