About Me

Current situation
Last year I lived in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Tanzania for internships and with the United Nations and a small, local NGO in the environmental and sustainability sector.
Now, I am back studying my Master in Copenhagen (Global Forestry) 🌳.
I cannot host much unfortunately but once in a while and I am always happy to meet travellers.

---

I would call myself an open minded person who loves to meet people from all over the world to get to know their cultures, ways of living and thinking and exchange some interesting stories.💬
Last year I travelled around Africa, very spontaneously and alone. I met so many amazing people so now that I am back home I am happy to host people from all around the world to broaden my horizen.🌍🌎🌏 I think in this life we can never finish learning from each other!
Furthermore, I think we all live in a bubble and we are usually surrounded by people with similar opinions, conditions and backgrounds. It's so important to escape this bubble sometimes!

widen your horizon, be open, be spontaneous, escape your comfort zone

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Get to know new cultures, meet new people and share some stories
I like to see life from many different perspectives and learn new things whenever I can and life gives me the possibility 🙂 It is amazing what stories you can experience through couchsurfing I think!
