One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the last night of 2018 in the Saharan Desert. Watching the most amazing sky, seeing the milky way clearly above me.
Saw wild orangutans in Sumatra and snorkeled with huge turtles in the waters around Borneo.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about environmental engineering stuff, the beautiful German language and my NGO work with toilets! Hell yea, toilets!!!11!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some fun stories about intercultural misunderstanding, crazy travel episodes and growing up on a farm in rural northwest Germany.

I consider an evening with discussions about how to improve life for all living things on earth as very well spent time :) plus I enjoy discussing tricky questions about life, moral, philosophy or very important "water with or without gas?"
