About Me

Ready to start a new life every day. Interested to get to know local customs and traditions but also like to understand the global context of local happenings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to get in contact with locals and experience their city from a local perspective.

I'm in science and spend most of my time work and leisure, figuring out how to live more sustainable on earth, especially with increasing population numbers.
My interests inspire me to change perspective and see yet another angle of things, or another persons point of view.
