I'm currently a student in history of art (MA) and I'm living in a small flat in Aachen, near the beautiful Netherlands (and Belgium :D). It's always rainy but I like that kind of wet and foggy weather.
I can sing every song on the radio that comes up.
I like old, vintage stuff and flea markets!
I can build an Ikea shelf on my own and I'm generally good in handcrafting/drawing- but not in cooking! Sorry, my fridge will be only full with things for breakfast.
People who whistle are creepy.
Cats and cakes and coffee are on top of everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to become more courageous and visit the world.

Interests

The history and the arts of the 18. and 19. century (Jugendstil, Art nouveau ...) Especially the artists Turner, Liebermann, Delacroix, Rubens, Klimt, Mucha ... I enjoy going in museums, gallerys and exploring new cities. I'm quite good at drawing, including telephone sketches ;) that was one reason to study history of art.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The risk of falling in love...gosh I'm getting kitschy...

I visited Scotland last year on my own and it was the best decision I've made! Met lovely people and was amazed by the pure nature of this wonderful, magical country!
