About Me

I am a geologist-turned-ecologist, studying a Master's degree in Applied Ecology - or, how to solve the environmental problems of the world. My degree takes me travelling, introduces me to beautiful places, and makes me think. At the moment I'm living in Kiel, Germany, newly arrived and relishing this new adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people, trading stories, and having a window into new cultures. Couchsurfing is the best and only way to do it.

Interests

I love baking bread! I love going for hikes and being outdoors. I will probably get pretty engaged in a conversation about traveling (I love to hear where you've been!) or about sustainability & green energy. I also love sitting in a cafe on a rainy day and reading while drinking a hot chocolate (I take hot chocolate pretty seriously!).
