Hey there!
I live in Bochum, sharing an apartment with two roommates. When I have some free time during my studies (literature and french), I go riding my bike, read some good books that are not included in my seminars or cook with people around. My greatest passion is probably dancing Forró (a brazilian coupledance) which really turned into an addiction.
I am open-minded (I guess ... ), creative sometimes, up to explore places, patient and love to have a good conversation while drinking some wine or fresh juice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am curious not only about countries and city sights, but the people who live there. I love to broaden my horizon when it comes to people which includes different lifestyles, visions, ideas, cultures, identities, ... Also, I like improving my language skills. And of course, I enjoy exploring new places with people who know where to find hidden expositions/cozy bars/local concerts/nice green spots/ ...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ugh ... I had breakfast at the Hawai'ian coast of the Pacific, for example. I guess to me, it's more the "little things" that I consider as amazing. I am not the kind of person that goes on exciting diving trips or jumps out of an airplane.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I know basic crochet skills, student-like cooking skills (fast and easy, but still yummy and not super unhealthy) and how to dye your hair with henna properly.

Learn: A lot! If you are french-, english-, spanish- or portuguese-speaking, I would love to speak your language with you. What do you do in life, what's important to you? Which recipes do you know? What is the best spot in your city? Can you teach me basic yoga positions? Do you have some music, book, or film suggestions? Do you play an instrument or sing, so we could make some music? ...

Share: I'd love to dance Forró with you!
