SHORT:

love hitchhiking, hate making life choices. I like to smile, to listen and to advice. I don't like sunburns, mosquitoes and licorice.

Hope to find back to my state of mind that I used to have before the pandemic.

I am curious to meet you :)

LONG:

After finishing school (I like to call it the time since I got free to live) I started to travel a lot in Europe, mostly in France.
Now I have the salad - German expression - I am not able to give up travelling anymore, it's my own little drug. It relaxes me. Every time I leave Germany I have a smile on my face (you will probably see me smile quite a lot^^).
I am really thankful to what I am, to be German, and to have all the opportunities that come with it. But this shouldn't be a privilege. Everyone should have the right to go wherever and when he likes. Like Victor Hugo said once:

"Ne soyons plus Anglais, ni Français, ni Allemands.
Soyons Européens.
Ne soyons plus Européens, soyons Hommes.
Soyons l'humanité.
Il nous reste à abdiquer un dernier égoïsme :
La patrie."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to discover how people live and think all over the globe. I want to share discussions with them, understand them a bit, because that's how I can develop myself, learning about my strength, weaknesses and limits. I try to understand the world and myself and that's only possible by discussing. I don't want to live in a comfortable little rabbit hole to have a big rabbit family and having the fear that the fox will eat us when we leave the hole.
I am hitchhiking as often as I can and it helped me a lot to develop myself and hopefully a bit in developing the others. Trust is important.

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't like the question, I think knowing that about a person doesn't tell you anything about him/her. But okay, here we go...
Jazz is always good but rock or pop or classic or whatever fits to my mood is cool too.
Actually I don't have such a thing as a favorite book or film but if I go with action, fantasy, crime or thriller I'm good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I made a tortilla without breaking it while flipping the sides. Never could reproduce it since then.

Hitchhiking a lot in Europe. I will never forget this experience and the kindness I met during the travels. (Well at least I hope so because my memory is really horrible!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some German if you want nd I am always pleased to learn whatever language you speak.
You could teach me how to find enough motivation to do more sport than once in a month if you like sports.
One day I knew how to knit socks. So I could try to teach you if you are fine in having two different sizes at the end ;)
And juggling isn't that hard actually, you can find out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, good time, some laughter and my way of life.
