Half German, half Hungarian (my Hungarian skills are not as good as I'd like them to be though), doing a PhD in media psychology in Würzburg. I enjoy stargazing, flea markets, a nice espresso and good stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the best things about travelling is meeting interesting new people and I feel like Couchsurfing is a good way to find them. I appreciate to connect and spend time with locals because I think it makes for a more personal travelling experience. In the best case, a place I visited can become somewhere a friend lives.

At this point, it is difficult for me to be hosting where I live, however, things can change and I may be hosting in the future. I can always find a place for friends to crash though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Mulhacén (3482 m) in Spain. Hiking the East Coast Trail in Newfoundland and seeing whales along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how to do pottery on the wheel. I know a few things about creative and academic writing, about keeping plants alive, and I can make a decent Thai curry.

If you‘re into making ceramics or are otherwise a crafty person, we would definitely have something to talk about.
