I love backpacking and exploring cultures since I went to my first individual trip to India in 2009. Since then I used almost all free time I had to travel as much as possible. Currently I am on a one-year journey from Germany to Nepal, but it might continue afterwards. I studied Medical Anthropology in Heidelberg and am currently writing my thesis while traveling. I am open-minded and always happy to learn about other people's and society's points of view. I am also interested in alternative and youth culture like parties, street art etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To truely experience local cultures, meet interesting people and new friends and to travel independently.
In the past i didn't use Couchsurfing much, even though I often stayed in houses of locals and I really like the concept. Anyway I hope to get into it during my time in Iran as I think that it is a great way to travel and experience this country.
