About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn French. I'm doing that by going to Lyon for a year.

ABOUT ME

I am 24 years old. After high school I went to live in Prague, CZ for one and a half years volunteering and working. Having met an awesome Liberian, I decided to move to that country for half a year. Now I'm studying Arabic Studies and Geography in Leipzig and Lyon.

I am talkative and I like long discussions, especially those with philosophic contents.
I like spontaneous funny actions and people that always can be motivated to go on a caper, as well as those who can motivate others for crazy actions.
My aim is to meet as many interesting people and places as possible in my life.
I am very interested in politics and economics but I can't imagine where I am going to be in some years --> The journey is the reward!

PHILOSOPHY

The more people you meet and start to understand, the better you will understand the world!
It's important to stand up to change things in this world. But to really change the world you first have to change yourself to live your life authentic, understanding and respecting others! Then they'll follow you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a pure surfer...hosted a couple of people I met through couchsurfing but generally I'm more likely to occupy your couch than you mine. I hope this will finally change when I'm in Leipzig. I'll try my best ;) !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed places where I didn't feel welcome, I couchsurfed other places and became good friends. All together I had some really pleasant summers through CS! :)

To adapt Forrest Gump freely:
Couchsurfing is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Looking down on the glowing Prague at night from the TV-tower (thanks to the organizers of Czechsurfing!)

Travelling by road from Monrovia (Liberia) to Freetown (Sierra Leone). That shit ain't comfy, but it's a hell of an experience ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can learn a little bit from everyone. Listening and sharing thoughts enriches our knowledge and leads us to a better understanding and is essential to create a better world.
