I am a (not so typical) German in love with Latin America and its culture:) After having finished my studies (I'm into the topic of migration these days) I am taking a time off traveling South America. Right now I am living in Bogotá, enjoying life and trying to figure out life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me one of the most important things in life is the shifting of perspectives and how can you better do that than spending time with people from different cultures!

Music, Movies, and Books

I totally loooove Latin American music: Salsa, Son, Bachata, Reggaeton, Merengue, Champeta .... but I am also into Hiphop, Reggae, Rock... basically all kind of music that I come across and that I like :P

Not too much into watching movies...

Books: anything by Siri Hustvedt, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying (kinda cliché but I liked it :P), Seelengevögelt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to Colombia without actually knowing what I was gonna do here... I just always wanted to live in Colombia for a while:)
Snorkeling with turtles on Galápagos
Spending Christmas with locals on Galápagos
Climbing Cotopaxi
Teaching German to guides of a national park in Madagascar
Building my own quinzee in the Rocky Mountains
Secretly importing two baby turtles from Turkey into Germany (with my parents!) when I was 8 years old

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to improve my salsa dancing!

I could (try to) teach you some German, Yoga (if you're interested)

Sharing my incredibly loud laugh :D:D but apart from that anything like good talks, drinks, food, a party, my brownies (Canadian recipe)...
