CURRENT MISSION Find the most beautiful place on this planet. ABOUT ME I'm an easy going person that likes to try new things over something that I know already. I guess having a thing for the unknown, is also why I love my studies of Oceanography so much (yes, I believe if everybody dedicated a few years of their lives to study the oceans, the world would be a happier place...). I am a bit of a restless soul too, and in the previous 6 years I have lived in 4 countries on 3 different continents whilst having visited some many more inbetween - I am inspired by stories of other people, the way they understand life on this planet, and the way they look at others. So tell me a good story about life, this planet and/or travelling and we are very likely to get on great. On the other hand, I'm not much of a loud & crazy person - I enjoy a good conversation and a bottle of wine over a night in a night club and if you ask me to sing karaoke i front of many people I am most likely to give you an akward grin and say no. PHILOSOPHY A ship in the harbor is safe - but that's not what ships are built for.

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I have been hosting quite a few more travellers than I have been surfing since I joined couchsurfing, and I always loved inviting a tiny bit of the world into my living room. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Since I still live in shared flats, my hosting activity depends very much on my current room mates, so as of lately I haven't been able to host many surfers unfortunately. I have surfed also a couple of times, and always love the connections I make when I'm involved in any aspect of couch surfing.
Musik, Filme und Bücher
My favorite movies in the world are garden state, and into the wild, but I do enjoy indie movies in general and am always up for a good disaster movie too. As for books, I love everything by David Mitchell, and my favorite book is Cloud Atlas.
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
I've seen a fair bit of this world, but my favorite place is a small town in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee. spending a day in the smoky mountains makes me happy.
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
I can talk for a long time about climate change, the history of ocean circulation, and my ideas about what travelling does to you. I also recently learned that I'm quite a determined 'lets-empty-the-fridge-chef' so I guess I can also share my secrets about how to make a decent meal with nothing and some garlic.
Meine Interessen
I like the Earth in all of its aspects, hence I like travelling, geology and science in general but also learning about different cultures and ways of thinking. I love being outdoors - sailing, camping, hiking, climbing and running. (all of this in moderation but with great enthusiasm :) When I'm not admiring the landscape of this planet I study Oceanography hoping that it will give me an opportunity to visit Antarctica in the future.
