About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my way around Lausanne.

ABOUT ME

I'm open-minded and I like meeting nice people from all over the world; I love cooking, especially Japanese, Indian, and mediterranean cuisine; I love sports and moving around in general, even if it's just a walk in the city centre - you wouldn't believe what you can discover! - and I enjoy living as much as I can, I'd say.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep your optimism! It's difficult at times but it's worth it! Enjoy life as much as you can and cultivate your happy time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not too much, unfortunately, because I haven't really made use of my account here yet... Time to change that.

Interests

music: almost everything, especially music that can be danced to; sports: running, ballet, yoga, just moving...; reading: Thomas Mann, Hermann Hesse, Milan Kundera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Voltaire, Molière, Yukio Mishima... I can go on, and on, and on... and discover always new ones!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Donnattur Castle in Stonehaven, nearby Aberdeen, Scotland - such a peaceful atmosphere, it was amazing!
- the Vesuv and Pompei, where you still can feel the glistering heat somehow.
- mountains always struck me, with awe, amazement and huuuuge repsect.
- Canterbury, England - it's soooo cute! I loved it.
- Bath, England - for everyone who likes reading Jane Austen a must-do!

Teach, Learn, Share

uuuuhm... german? english? i could teach you yoga as well...
for my newborn sister whose mum is from iraq i'd like to learn arabian and, just out of interest, as I'm learning another complicated language (japanese) as well!
