Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm now in Brussels and I want to learn not only at work but from the people, the land, the life, the experiences!!! :D
ABOUT ME
Well... I am an open, social and straightforward person and I love languages and to get to know people from different regions of the world, with different cultures and their own history, experiences and ideas to tell!
I like learning something knew in general, so I'm interested in many thing and I'm also quite ambitious in my work. I don't like to make "half-things", when I do something I like to do it with all my heart.
And you can say I like also being crazy in a certain way... ;)
Besides, did I already mention that I LOVE languages?
Next year when I'm back at home I'm going to learn chinese! And for example I tried to learn tagalog as I had some really nice teachers but they are working on ships so... it's difficult. And I haven't found someone near me til now who could teach me. I know a few words in arabian language and I like the sound of it... and the writing! I made one and a half hour of "see-how-it-is"-japanese-course... great!
And I'm always trying to learn even if only a few words from foreign people I get to know.
PHILOSOPHY
Quot homines, tot sententiae.
Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît pas.
Amor, lux, veritas - sic itur ad astra.
Wenn der Wind der Veränderung weht, bauen die einen Menschen Schutzmauern, die andern Windmühlen.
Was du liebst, das lass los. Wenn es von alleine zurück kommt, dann gehört es dir für immer.
No hay mal que por bien no venga.
...
I love aphorisms... there are so many great and wise thoughts...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Some friends told me about their great experiences with Couch Surfing members and so I decided to come in too!
I'm in Valencia now so I think it's a really good opportunity to travel, but also to host people.
I hope to have some great experiences, too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Now I can already write about my first experiences! It's incredible!
I entered the local communitiy of Valencia, had a really great evening with so amazing people and then a great Saturday in a land house where they organized a party with pool and paella, also to collect money for a project in India where one of them is going to participate. A great idea, isn't it? And I really enjoyed the conversations!
And I also had already my first surfers, a girl and a boy from Hungaria. They were really nice and we spent an interesting day and two great evenings together in multinational company of some of my friends here in Valencia.
Thank you Couch Surfing, I'm really looking forward to my next experiences! I hope I can soon be in Barcelona :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One? There are so many and I'm so thankful for that...
For example:
I could participate in some great theatre-musical productions in school.
I crossed the atlantic ocean on a ship.
I'm living now in Valencia to pass a semester here and I'm so happy to experience this!
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach latin, french and spanish, maybe a little ancient greek and also some of educational psychology. Furthermore I could tell some interesting phenomenas in the field of linguistics (especially development from Latin to the Roman languages)and intercultural pragmatics. Oh and of course german, I forgot :D
I want to learn... so much! What you like to teach me! ;)
Especially I want to learn chinese at the university when I'm back in Germany.
I'd like to share histories, ideas and maybe experiences with people and experiences around the world.
