Most would describe me as adventurous and as a good listener. I like listening to intriguing and unusual stories next to a campfire. I was also described as non-judgmental so your embarrassing drug and alcohol stories won't scare me away ;)
I like to be active, so I hike and dance ballet, but I also enjoy yoga a lot.
I studied forest sciences near Berlin and now focus on wildfires. One of my favorite activities are being in the forest, exploring, and enjoying the surroundings.
Have I mentioned that I love eccentric and authentic people?

I was born and grew up in the Southwest of Germany, bordering France and Switzerland, and this influence has made me curious early on about different cultures.

My life philosophy:

Our choices can be our best friend or our worst enemy. They can deliver us to our goals or send us orbiting into a galaxy far, far away.
Everything in your life exists because you first made a choice about something. Choices are at the root of every one of your results. Each choice starts a behavior that over time becomes a habit.
Either you choose any habit or if you don’t, you get another option automatically.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to expand my horizon in terms of friends, knowledge, culture and compassion.
