CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world!

ABOUT ME

I am a 24 years old student from Marburg/Germany. My studies make me become an English and geography teacher sooner or later;)
I often do sports in my free-time, or enjoy our beautiful city. It is really worth it to visit Marburg! Of course, I travel as often as possible and CS is a great opportunity to do this with insider knowledge and outside the tourist paths...
I think the sense in life is to see the world. The more I've seen, the better I feel (rather than the 'the more I earn, the better I feel' identity). And I don't just wanna see the famous places. I'd love to travel in the Asian steppe or go by Transsiberian Railroad. Another reason for my want to travel is that one of my subject in geography. I've learned (and even teached) so much about all regions of the world, but never have seen most of them.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try not just to travel and surf couches, but also to get in contact with people and learn to know new cultures. We can share ideas about nearly every topic, especially sports and arts:)
Furthermore, as a geography student, I know a lot about our world. If you are interested in topics like climate change or the genesis of landscapes, I think we can have nice conversations.
If you non-german, I can tell you something about my country and its culture and everything else. It's more than Sauerkraut, Oktoberfest and Neuschwanstein Castle;)
