I’m a mix of artistic discipline and spontaneous rhythm. Much of my focus goes into the geometry of letters through calligraphy, while yoga keeps me grounded. 🧘♀️ I’m a vegetarian and occasionally find my flow in Latin dance, but I prefer living my lifestyle rather than just talking about it. 💃 When traveling, I want to find the city's blind spots and experience life through the eyes of those who actually call it home. 🗺️

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
I’m here for genuine human connection, not just a place to crash. I’d much rather share a conversation with someone who knows the rhythm of their neighborhood. 💬 I’m looking for the "insiders" who can show me the layers of a culture that stay hidden from the average tourist. ✨
Musik, Filme und Bücher
Music 🎵 A mix of Latin rhythms (Salsa, Bachata), Jazz, and Ambient Lo-fi for focused calligraphy sessions. Books 📚 Non-fiction on Cultural Anthropology, Philosophy, and the history of Art and Typography. Movies 🎥 Philosophical Sci-Fi that explores human nature and choice (e.g., The Adjustment Bureau, The Giver, Upside Down) and independent documentaries.
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
- I spent several months living in a remote desert village in the heart of Iran, experiencing a life where survival and peace are defined by the silence of the dunes. 🏜️ - I stayed in a secluded, off-the-beaten-path village in Canada, living among the locals and participating in their specific traditions and ceremonies—a glimpse into a way of life that most travelers never get to see. 🌲🛖
