CURRENT MISSION have fun! and ... to find a job in Berlin ;) ABOUT ME I just finished my studies and am a real doctor now wohooo! :D Before the beginning of serious working life I decided to learn spanish and salsa and live for a couple of months in Havana. Cuba was an incredible experience - another galaxy. I learned that Cuba is nothing of what its image is about but much more complex then I could ever have imagined. After a trip to Mexico and southern United States I am currently living with my parents, working on my theses, visiting friends and looking for a job. I am an open minded versantile interested and a little bit chaotic always smiling and laughing kind of person :) PHILOSOPHY we are like butterflys who flutter for a day and think it is forever...
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Bars
Fluent in German
Learning Chinese (Simplified)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I am currently living with my parents and have to obey their rules...which are...no couchsurfing :/ But I try to go to the cs meetings as regularly as possible...especially our spanish-speakers meeting in Würzburg which gives me a great opportunity to get to know many different cultures and to practice my spanish :) COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I went couchsurfing mostly in france, then on the Philippines and China I met many couchsurfers for some drinks, talks and adventures. In Wuerzburg and Duesseldorf I am participating in couch surfer meetings where I have found new friends and even soulmates. It´s unbelievable how many great moments and experiences I had with all of the couchsurfers I met. I am very honoured to be part of this community.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love Music and dancing and singing. Music makes me feel alive and makes all my worries disappear. When I am travelling to a new culture I am trying to listen to its music, because I believe that music makes you feel the soul of a culture. I am currently discovering the french film culture...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
There were an anormous amount of moments that left me awestuck in life, but mostly those are memories of friends/or those becoming friends lateron and family members being incredibly wonderful, caring and loving
Teach, Learn, Share
I am eager to learn as much as possible about other cultures, therefore i want to learn as many languages as possible. People keep saying that i have a too perfectionist opinion about what it is about beeing a good person, but i think asking of people to be open-minded, respectful and enjoy being a host to friends is not too much, so maybe i can teach people to ask for more respect from others than what they are used to.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I love to cook, so I can cook for you :) I love interesting conversations and discussions, so I can share my insight about topics you don´t know much about and learn from you what I have no idea about :) Hopefully we can share some good time together ;)
My Interests
my friends, my family, TRAVELLING, languages, internationaly politics, outdoor fun...open for every thing actually :)
