About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Smash partiarchy

ABOUT ME

First of all: I’m traveling a lot through work so I’m often not in Berlin. Also I sometimes don’t have the time to answer all the requests you get when you’re living in such a cool city ;) so please excuse if I’m not answering
............…
I‘m an open minded soul interested in personal stories and global contexts. Crazy about dogs and hummus!

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is a dog!
And: Travelling is a privilege - so let’s do it consciously and with awareness towards colonial history and its ongoing inequality

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I already had the chance to do couchsurfing a lot of times I'm so thankful for these nice experiences. Since I live in Berlin, I also had the chance to host people and I enjoyed spending time with them and giving them a little home for a few days. Strangers are coming together, we can give and take and bring so many different stories together and have a dialogue - this is so nice!

What I also want to say as a woman on this platform: Guys, please don’t use this as a dating platform!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed during my Interrail-travel through Europe, Cameroon, Israel, Palestine, Jordan and Marocco which was an amazing experience. Thanks to all my/our lovely hosts I had an unforgettable time and I hope I can give back this hospitality!

I don’t have a fixed taste when it comes to music - grew up with playing classical piano, love listening to music from the good old 70s or nice indie music and getting the dancing vibe with italo disco or other melodic electronic stuff.

Authors I appreciate: Chimamanda Ngoze Adichie, Margarete Stokowski, Yuval Harari, Michael Ende (Momo is the best:)

Movies/series I enjoyed: Sex education, survival of the thickest, perfect days, parasites, rocket man…

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In general experiencing the genuine hospitality of people in other countries

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I am a very good listener so I can share that :) and I’m always open to learn new languages, stories, cooking skills or other stuff!

I’m living together with my partner Dev and we have a lovely flat to share. Currently we are on a 6 month sabbatical so we can’t host!
