About Me

I am a happy, open-minded young soul who is very open to cultures and people. I love food and I love cooking a nice meal together. I did quite many things in my life and would say I´m rather experienced. Although I am a very funny person who likes to joke around and don't take things too seriously, I´d prefer calmer environments with people who are also a bit more experienced in life and have to tell and to teach something of value. I would always prefer nature over cities but I am still attracted to some city vibes.

I´d always prefer a cozy evening over a night out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I caught a lynx in a German city that once escaped from a zoo. I know it sounds like a very bad lie but its very true, I have picture proof ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you something about Biomimicry, Circular economy and innovations that will blow your mind :) I also have a quite profound knowledge about biology and other broad topics Id like to share.
Some more practical things I can offer are e.g. cooking, cleaning, help in the garden, building things, taking care of children and animals ...etc

I would like to learn more about permaculture, yoga and meditation and alternative living communities.
