Born in western Germany, now studying International Relations and Philosophy in Erfurt. Cycling-Enthusiast, cosmopolite, outdoor-person but not exclusively. Just finished a voluntary service for one year in Yerevan, Armenia and back at uni now.
Trying to spend my life in a mix of learning and travelling and valuing the general ideas of understanding and experiencing the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
