About Me

CURRENT MISSION

view the world!

ABOUT ME

I am openminded, interested in new things and I enjoy my life. I love making music (piano and violin) and listening to music, the theatre and doing sports. I really enjoy talking und thinking and would like to work in the media domain. I am a very empathetic person and like to listen to good stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Traveling is fatal to prejudice. Mark Twain

Du musst das Leben nicht verstehen

Du musst das Leben nicht verstehen,
dann wird es werden wie ein Fest.
Und lass dir jeden Tag geschehen
so wie ein Kind im Weitergehen von jedem Wehen
sich viele Blüten schenken lässt.

Sie aufzusammeln und zu sparen,
das kommt dem Kind nicht in den Sinn.
Es läßt sie leise aus den Haaren,
drin sie so gern gefangen waren,
und hält den lieben jungen Jahren
nach neuen seine Hände hin.

(Rainer Maria Rilke)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surfing and hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I already surfed in several countries: In France, Germany, Israel, Great Britain, United States, Argentina, Canada (staying with Lau and Sam in Québec was just amazing!)... and had a lot of fun and met wonderful people!

I also hosted some surfers in my flat in Lyon and in Berlin.

Interests

listening to and playing music, theatre, films, doing sports (In march 2014, I did my first halfmarathon ;) ), meeting (new) people and discovering new places all over the world, talking, discussing, cooking, laughing, being in the nature, camping, watching the sky, enjoying moments withouth speaking, thinking about the crazy world, observing and enjoying special moments.

Music, Movies, and Books

book: Extremely loud and incredibly close
movie: currently: oh boy
music: classical music, swing and music to relax or dancing music, jazz (depends on where I am)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Golden Gate Bridge (I know, it's kind of a cliché, but I really loved it!)
Sleeping spontaneously at the beach in Haifa, Israel - that was magic :)
Watching the stars in the Andes in Bolivia and in Wadi Rum in Jordan without any light around.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I am good in doing creative things out of nothing, I like discussing about philosophical stuff, I love learning languages - why not doing a tandem in Spanish, French, English or (this is my current project) in Dutch?
I am also good in organizing things and at the same time a quite chaotic person (in my head) - maybe I could teach you this "balance" ;)

I'm always open to learn interesting things!

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Jordan, Monaco, Palestine, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, France, Germany
