- Currently on a 3 month trip travelling Israel and Palestine...

I grew up in Kreuzberg, a pretty multicultural district of Berlin.
I think that I am open-minded and tolerant towards others and always curious to learn new things. From a great interest in crafts and the construction of things and arts I decided to study industrial design at the university of the arts, Berlin.
I spent 5 months living is Jerusalem, Israel as an exchange student at Bezalel Academy od Arts and Design.

I practice Aikido-Zen for over 10 years which is a great and peaceful martial-art from Japan. This is very much about respect and awareness of yourself and others.
Besides that, nature and a sustainable lifestyle play an important role in my life. I love being outside just walking around or riding the bike. I am a vegetarian and I love cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that it is really important to meet and talk to the people that are living in the country you are visiting to get to know that country and culture.

I am not really experienced with couchsurfing for now, but I like the concept!
