About Me

Hey everyone!

I am currently at university in Berlin studying to become an engineer. Hoping to do my part in working on the clean energy transition!
After Highschool l was lucky enough to take a gap year, doing work & travel across the Americas. That really sparked a joy and curiosity in meeting people from various places and backgrounds & explore new environments, which is why I‘m here :)
Connecting with new people and learning about their story and their way of life is something that inspires me and gives me so much!
Seeing different cultures and how different people live together in so many different ways might be the best education one can receive.
I always love stepping outside my comfort zone, because I think that’s where all truly great and interesting things emerge.

I’m also happy discussing various topics like technology, sustainability, music, travel and everything you might be passionate about. I’m always happy to hear someone’s opinion as no one knows it all and we can always learn from each other.

Once in a while I have enough of the big city and flat landscapes and I need to climb a mountain! Hiking and nature really brings me peace of mind. Tell me about the last hike you did!

My passion is music! I love listening to all kinds of music and play keys and drums (update: really need to start practicing again haha). I am always happy to receive recommendations for some good music and discover new artists. Music is such a beautiful way to connect, express emotions and simply have fun in my opinion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore the world and learn about different places, people‘s stories and approaches to life. I think Couchsurfing is the best way to really learn about a place and the culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always love learning new skills or facts. Sharing travel stories and learning about places people have visited is great too! I would love to learn what you are working on and what you are excited about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations about all topics - my story and an ear for yours.
If there is anything you might need help with I’m eager to help you- anything you are working on or just a helping hand for chores, garden etc!
And doing my best in helping to cook a meal;)

I’m also more than happy to host you in Berlin and/ or show you the city, invite you for a meal and maybe a drink!

We can speak German or English, if you want to practice one of the two.
