ABOUT ME

That I am very easygoing in general and sometimes a bit unusual in my behavior and interests. I am very true to my friends and I am a hard-working person but also helpful if somebody needs me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I am always interested in meeting new people who give me Inspiration. I am an open-minded person and would be glad if my son would become similar in his process of growing up. And lately I discovered that it is a possibility to meet people with interesting interests which can enrich one's life.

Interests

I studied history of arts and this is also my basic interest, but I am also interested in culture in general. I paint and draw myself but I am also interested in musics, playing violin, piano and cello. I have been playing violin in the orchestra of the university of Stuttgart for many years and undertaken trips with it to South Africa and Australia. Since 2012 I've got a little son and I am planning to go on a couch surfing trip with him. I like and know a lot about literature, too. I used to dance a lot of different things and lately I am also climbing and horse-riding. Since last year it changed a bit and I got familiar with sailing and surfing.
