About Me

I'M IN AMERICA AT THE MOMENT, SO NOT ABLE TO HOST SOMEONE AT THIS POINT!

I've never really been sure about what I want in life and I'm still not yet. I find it impressive when people know exactly what they want in a world this big with a million different ways to chose from. What I do is just keeping my mind open for new things and taking chances that come up. I've been told more than once that I'm "too nice", whatever that means :p I'd say I just don't worry a lot about unnecessary "problems" and often I also just don't care and let other people decide as I'm mostly happy either way.

2014/15 I was living in Australia for nearly a whole year. I was working as an Aupair for 6 month and the rest of the time I've been travelling around in Oz and also in New Zealand. You recognize that you can live with very few when other things become to be priority while travelling.

I am currently studying in Munich to become a teacher for health & nutrition and also for German as my second subject. I really enjoy living in Munich and whenever you get the chance to come visit for the "Oktoberfest" you should definitely do that!! :)

MOST APPROPRIATE QUOTE FOR MY PERSONALITY
Don't mistake my silence for ignorance,
my calmness for acceptance,
and my kindness for weakness!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be honest I started trying couchsurfing because of a lack of money (in expensive Australia!). It's just a great way to get around easily. But also you're given so much with this kinda travelling. Not material things of course, but you're given even more important things like finding out how people from the other side of the world are living, what those people are like & why they are what they are... it allows me to see things from different points of view. And I get to know myself better by seeing what other people see in myself and through this I can try to be a better me every day. By now I'd even rather pay for couchsurfing than stay in hotels/hostels for free.

Music, Movies, and Books

Totally a series chunky when it comes to procrastinating time during the exam period.
And I like music/books/movies that make you think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing a skydive in Australia! The feeling of falling with 200km/h was definitely the best feeling I've ever had!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me anything new or show me something I haven't seen before! Or if you can't do that, I'd be happy with learning some guitar basics :D
I can teach you some piano basics in return.

PHILOSOPHY
I'm always eager to expand the way I look at people and to understand why they are what they are.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My hopefully enjoyable company :D some shared laughter (maybe with some wine), Bavarian culture
