About Me

Discovering and Dancing

I like looking at things, mostly in awe.

I am happy to finally leave university after 5 years of humanities and pay attention to the physical world in a physical way which involves spaces, moving bodies,
words, languages and sound.
I want to learn about anatomy, somatic methods and response,
fancy a clarinet and enjoy playing the drums -
rhythms are a conscious part of my day and I'm about to jump in at the deep end of the Mediterranean.

Other than that I enjoy listening, making people comfortable, being childish, cooking together, making faces, getting hooked on something for a while, climbing, concerts, and recently the principles of Taiji, meditation and yoga.

I have travelled quite a lot in the past 8 years and like staying at a place for just a bit longer now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Getting to know things together. Moving together, see what's coming up.

At the moment I'm inbetween places, moving out of Berlin - I will be in Tel Aviv for the next year and don't know what will happen after.

I'd love to stay with people for some time, talk about the day, the past, maybe build something together, get another perspective; it sounds shallow but I figured it's quite easy to get stuck in a loop and block a lot of things that are actually welcome.
I will learn a lot this year, and want to share and process it in community.

Right now I'm interested in impulses and how to be open to perceive them,
how to be precise and what dedication is.

So I'd ne happy to apply these when spending time with each other, and I really like lending a hand, if there's something to do, hook me up-

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

started dancing.

and just 2 minutes ago I figured out how to warm up soup on the toaster.
cheers, it's yesterday's pumpkin soup

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very eager to learn Hebrew, martial arts, growing plants and the clarinet or alto saxophone, giving massages, and i haven't spoken spanish on a while, it would be great to pick up on it again

I can help out with german, english, research, editing texts, build stuff (I have little experience but i really have an urge to build something and gladly do my best to watch and learn), develop strategies and ideas, keep you company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

the above I guess, and surely helping hands and other senses.
