Overview
About Me
I'm a broad, open-minded person with many different sides to me. In addition to the scientific and analytical aspect of me, I am also very much interested in languages - I teach English and am also currently learning French.
During my spare time I like creative things like theatre, music, and am also keen on performing myself. In particular I've discovered singing in the last couple of years, so have been doing a few concerts here and there, and enjoy going to karaoke evenings ^^. I also play the piano too.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To travel and to meet great new people who can share their experiences and knowledge of a place, and likewise with whom I can share my experiences and knowledge.
I'm also interested in improving my language abilities, and find that the best way to practise a language is to live in the country where it is spoken, and immerse yourself as fully as possible in it, whilst meeting new and interesting new people, and having a good time.
Interests
Singing, acting, playing the piano, languages, cooking, doing radio shows, travelling, and meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books
I particularly like music with jazz roots, but am open to a wide range. Songs that always inspire me are ones where I can feel the true emotion and sentiment of song, which has been interpreted by the artist.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've met and interviewed Adam Grahn from 'Royal Repubilc'.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm currently learning French, which I find a very poetic language, and is a wonderful language to sing in! I've just done a B1 course last semester, mais il faut, que je pratique plus mon français ^^.
Food/cooking: I love learning new local dishes and how to make them myself. I have a knoweldge of British food, and a slowly growing knowledge of German food from Hessen, from living here.
Of course I am happy to help with English. I am an English teacher too :).
