About Me

My friends call me Conny or Conze, my mother calls me Cossi.
Once a schoolmate compared the number of my nicknames to the variety of my interests:
I love singing, dancing and making music. Sometimes I play the piano and I enjoy the time with my choir "Vivid Voices" and my ballroom dance lessons. That's why I study special needs education with music. ;)
I like drawing and reading, when there is a rare moment without stress. (Otherwise I draw with nail polish on my nails :P)
Because I grew up in a house with a well-tended garden I enjoyed the fresh fruits, herbs and blooming flowers. My grandparents still grow vegetables, which I love to eat right from the ground or the plant. So I try to grow my own tomatoes and herbs now and take care of my orchids. I love nature, so I often go for a walk in the woods near my flat.
And of course I love hanging around with friends: cooking and baking (I love sushi and cupcakes), watching films, shopping, going out... (I love to dance, when my tune is on ;) )
And sometimes, I like to learn.^^ Especially about psychology, biologym music and education. So I enjoy going to the university, too. I also work at the university, which provides an ideal counterbalance to the academic schedule.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because my sister opened my eyes for the world (as she said :D ).
We did couchsurfing together in Scotland and it was fun and so interesting that I wanted to share my room, too.

Interests
