About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way."

ABOUT ME

I'm from Hamburg (it's in the North of Germany), but now I study productdesign in Kassel.
I'm not a big fan of 'touristattractions'and planning. When I travel I like to spend my time with walking around with no special aim (getting lost is in my opinion one of the best way to get to know an area)to get the feeling how people are living there (couchsurfing is perfect for this, because you get to know locals). Generally I like to speak and think about why people or things are like they are...about different views of life or ways of living. Most important thing for me is, that you try to have no prejudges and be open, respectful and tolerant towards everybody.

PHILOSOPHY

"Always focus on the donut and never on the hole."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In fact, I couchsurfed the first time with my friend Amandine in August 2011(at this time I wasn't a member of the couchsurfcommunity). We stayed with a guy in Tofino for three days and had a lot of fun and got to know so many things that we woudln't if we didn't stay with him. That's the reason why I descide to become a member.
