ABOUT ME

Originally from Germany, I am currently a PhD student in the UK. Besides my studies I try to get involved into interesting side activities whenever I can. I love traveling and particularly enjoy meeting people who inspire me, or just wanna have a nice chat over a coffee. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

- "If times get rough it's time to get rough."
- "It's just people."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I particularly enjoy meeting all different kinds of people who can inspire me and who might make me aware of something I haven't been aware of. In the past, this could have been the journalist from Israel who was working on her column next to me in a coffee place or the chemical engineer from Calgary I met on a plane
This should not sounds like a hidden list of prerequisites - I think everyone has to share something interesting. Let's find out what we can learn from each other! :-)
