About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To teach and to learn

ABOUT ME

What to say about me?I'm trying to get out everything of every second in my life because there is such a lot to explore in the world. I would like to see all the countries of it, to speak every language, to do every sport and to read every book. Maybe it's a little bit impossible but I'm in it ;)
I've studied spanish and german at the University of Cologne for being a teacher.

Before my studies I lived one year in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) doing a voluntary service organised by the European Comission.

PHILOSOPHY

Dreamer maybe don't have a plan, but realists don't have a vision

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few of couchsurfers until now who were sometimes oficial hosted from me and sometimes from my flatmate(s). But in the end it's the same because weeell we lived together ;)
And it was everytime such a great experience..i ate a lot traditional food, talked chinese and heared fairy tales in french and lithuanian.

Also I participaded in the CS Group of Mallorca and I love to know people who are having the same attitude towards life :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, first of all I'm a big fan of all the disney movies (favorite: Pocahontas). But futhermore i prefer series rather than movies and always watch several at a time :D

I enjoyed reading the memories of Giacomo Casanova (and yes maybe I would felt in love with him also when I would have lived in the same time ;) ) and getting out a lot of "Sofie's world" and from "The Outsiders". The newest book i fall in love with is "Blasmusikpop" from Vea Kaiser, because she describes perfectly how little german/austrian towns work :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was two months in Chile for an student exchange when I was sixteen. It was a really great time which changed my view of the world.
One of the best things was to spend a night in a deserted valley, looking up to the stars, feeling the nature, looking in the faces of my friends from Chile and knowing that there exits more in the world than words can ever describe...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to drive a bike and also to drink like a german ;)
