ABOUT ME

I moved to Cologne 3 years ago and just last year I moved to my own apartment. I am doing a master to become a psychotherapist/ I have studied psychology and anthropology in Heidelberg/ some years ago I spent a year in Santiago de Chile and that time my South American passion has started (I'm trying to speak Spanish whenever I can)/ I love dancing (modern dance), running, sometimes rockclimbing/ I enjoy interesting conversations (best with a cup of good red wine)/ in 2012 I spent some months in Southeastasia, working as an intern at a Vietnamese NGO

PHILOSOPHY

"The only horrible thing in the world is ennui, Dorian. That is the one sin for which there is no forgiveness."
Oscar Wilde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can offer you a couch in my living room (unfortunately it's only an air bed, but still kind of comfortable) and I can maybe walk you around Cologne, if I don't have to work or attend classes at the weekend. But for sure we can meet in the evening, cook maybe together and have some nice conversation about the world, us or whatever comes up :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I haven't participated a lot in CS, but those times I have surfed a couch or hosted people it has always been a cool experience - you get to know so many insider places in the city...
This is the first time I'm living in an apartment with enough space to host people, so I'm looking for some more nice experiences...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

reunion of shamans in the mountains of Chile; there is a lot more, but that doesn't sound so catching to put it on my profile ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

We could cook together (I'm quite good in preparing vegetarian dishes), do handicrafts (I've started doing jewelry with macramé and other materials and I would love to exchange techniques and get new inspirations)and I'm always interested in getting to know people who are active in social projects/ environmental projects and exchange about these topics.
And I would be more than happy to keep on talking Spanish and learning more about latinamerican culture...
