About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down.

ABOUT ME

i'm a 27 years old student of sustainability in Lüneburg which is half an hour to Hamburg by train.
I live in an ooooold house with my friends and some other students. Hoping the best best, expecting the worst we spend loads of evenings together with a good bottle of wine or some bottles of beer or of whatever. feel very invited to join us!

i like getting to know people from all over the world, talking in foreign languages and seeing new places. I am open to hear and to share ideas about almost every topic, especially concerning the future being-together of our society. I like to share solidarity. i am a big defender of critical thinking and enjoy contoversial conversations. I enjoy myself the best in dancing to worldmusic.

In my opinion the worst thing is not to have faults. Not even to fight them. The worst thing is to hide them. (inspired by B.Brecht)

i hate mass events (!!!), standing in long queues,being part of a big crowd, being a number, being the 'neeext'. Individuality is what makes me feel free and confident in every situation if travelling or everyday life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Paths are made by walking"

"Alas", said the mouse, "the whole world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into." "You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.
(both: Franz Kafka)

your middle- and my forefinger would result in a peace-sign.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

a friend of mine told me about Couchsurfing, she travels with couchsurfing from time to time and she suggested me to join. I liked the idea of couchsurfing.

....So i'm here.....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed my first experience in Podgorica, Montenegro very much an so i decided to continue the story, also with friends, in Rotterdam and Rennes.

....to be continued!!!!

Interests

i know you all read it on every second profile but yes: travelling. but for this hobby my main philosophy is, that it doesnt matter where you are. in the end you will always remember the people you are with. Therefore i am really interested in hitch-hiking even till now i just did it in germany. for my close future i want to travel further in other areas as i really enjoyed to meet all this random people who were all a bit different

Music, Movies, and Books

i like books of milan kundera (the unbearable lightness of being !!) and franz kafka but also enjoy bertolt brecht, hermann hesse (siddhartha!!) - the best books are still to come :)

Q. Tarantino, W. Anderson, T. Burton, L. Haußmann, F. Akin and and and...
I love to see french movies (in french for sure)

I'm Beatles addicted and i enjoy especially their old stuff. i love (world-)music with character, you should know where it comes from or what has influenced the artist when he created his artwork. i like to dance to music from the balkans. time passes like nothing in doing it. I also have soft spot for old german hiphop music from hamburg or stuttgart. i dont like aggresive stuff.

and i listen to almost every music on this planet excluding german-folk-songs, or other noisy stuff

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

bungeejumo in spain, ehm, erasmus? best journey: six weeks with the backpack through india (rajasthan, utar pradesh, andrah pradesh, tamil nadu, karnataka) i went on a 33h ride in from chennai to delhi in india...

Teach, Learn, Share

i'm an expert in "pretend it's your favourite song"
when you want to dance and the music is shit, just pretend its your favorite song, and you will be able to dance like you never did before...
i can teach you this art
