ABOUT ME

I am a very open-minded, friendly person who loves to meet new people.
I was born in Southern Germany, studied in Munich, lived one year in Sweden to study abroad. Currently I am living in Kiel (Northern Germany) and work as PhD-student at the university.
Normally I am quite talkative, like to learn new things and make new friends. I have been travelling quite a bit, mostly in Scandinavia, but hope to explore new countries and cities very soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I am travelling I think it is much more fun to meet people who are living there instead of staying in hotels. The only way to really get to know a different culture is to get to know the people! In my year abroad I made a lot of great friends from all over the world and I wouldn't want to miss this experience and hope to get a lot more of such pleasant encounters by couchsurfing!

Interests

As I studied Scandinavian culture, language and literature, I am very interested in culture and books.
I love to read (mostly novels), learn about history and I am very fascinated by foreign languages.
As I started playing piano and violin as a kid, I love to play classical music and to sing, but I also enjoy pop/rock music.
