Overview
About Me
Recently, I am pursuing my Master`s degree (German studies) in Mannheim but I am originally from a small conservative village in Bavaria. Living in small environment might have evoked my thirst for traveling, increasing my knowledge, and encountering other environments. Feel free to ask for more information before hosting me. At the moment, I am busy writing my thesis but I am still open to host you, if you like.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am passionate about the concept of CS that established a kind of digital "hospitality" culture. It is enriching to give without "immediate" or countable return. This "spirit" may help to think a little bit beyond the "homo economicus".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I held a creative workshop for one year that was open to anyone. It was enriching to experiene in which mutiple way people use language to express their creativity.
Teach, Learn, Share
Some people has called me "a living dictionary" even though this is exaggeration I like to talk about history, politics and culture. I also studied German language and gathered some teaching experience so that I am able to help you in the case of interest :)
