CURRENT MISSION

finding peace in everything I do

ABOUT ME

I am very interested in learning languages because I like to get to know new people and to have interesting conversations about e.g. books, philosophy and travelling. After my volontary service in Italy I realized how important it is to live the language with all your senses. At the moment I try to improve my French because I adore this language and I would love to speak it very well, thats why I will do another volontary service in France ;)
But also Turkish is a language I would really like to learn, as well as Arab, Romanian or Hungarian...ok, you see: I cannot even decide where to start. The only thing I can really tell is that Italian will be forever the language of my heart :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Je suis toujours un autre et cet autre n'est pas toi; c'est-à-dire un autre de mon moi."

A. Khatibi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even if my flat is not that big, I like to have guests, but in my vacation I really need to travel, so at the moment I'm not at home!

Interests

I really like to read and even while travelling my bags are full of books. I play the guitar and the piano but I enjoy even more to sing. I love any kind of animal and I spend my free time walking and hiking in the nature. And I really like to cook (and also to eat) - a couple of years in Italy definitely change your relationship with food!
But my biggest wish is to travel as much as possible but also as sane as possibile. I like the simple way, so as hiking or going by train without much comfort. I like to get to know other people and lost places, it's the best gift life can give you.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: everything with Tom Schilling, 13, 17 Mädchen ... And I really like to go to cinema :)

Books: It's really hard to tell only a cople of books I like, because I started reading when I was 4 years old and I'll never stop it! So here we are: I really adore Kästner, Kaléko, Zola, Murakami, Flaubert, Nabokov, Dostojewskij, Tolstoi and so on.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My last six months were very special because I prepared many Italian language courses for people of different ages, from teens to elderly and I am really thankful for the experience to share my love for the italian language and also to help others grow.

Teach, Learn, Share

The italian language does not know a word for a single noodle, if you are not able to name which kind of noodle you are talking about :D
So you can say "una farfalla", "una tagliatella" and maybe also "una penna rigata", but not "one noodle, please"

It's also clear why. Italian dishes are that delicious that nobody would like to eat only one noodle :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

Currently I lerned how to do Reiki. And even if it sounds quite strange and unbelieveable, it works.
I like the idea that I can help myself and other people relax and feel better.
