Overview
About Me
Born and raised in South Germany, lived in Copenhagen, Mannheim, Stuttgart, Munich and Arequipa (Peru). I'm interested in space in any dimension, from the local to the global. I preferred landscapes over storybooks even as a child and this passion has remained. Concerned about climate change, migration, famine, global health... But also optimistic about our generation to build (back) better ;-)
I am passionate about cooking, winter sports, dancing, books and music. Wannabe-vegetarian, but sometimes I just cannot resist Swabian mince-filled "Maultaschen". Why to decide between beer and wine when you can have both?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Always keen to get to know new people and to show people around. Love to speak foreign languages, dive into local traditions and cuisine and climb mountains or hills whenever possible.

Music, Movies, and Books
Always Indie, sometimes hip hop, punk, funk and classic music..
Favorite music from Radiohead, The Smiths, Dry Cleaning, Khruangbin, Arctic Monkeys, Future Islands, Olivia Dean, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Tennis, L.A. Salami, and so on!
I love books, although I sometimes prefer showing off with a fancy book shelf over reading them. This is not the case for books from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Zadie Smith, Ernest Hemingway, Erich Kästner, Astrid Lindgren, and many more ;-)
I am the least informed person on movies and series you can imagine. I own a Netflix and an arthouse cinema subscription though!
