Overview
About Me
only from the heart can you touch the sky -Rumi
I love travelling and NGO work, getting to know how things works out in other countries. I was volunteering one year in Ghana in a school and worked the last 4 years as a teacher in social, health and enviroment topics with refugees from syria, irak, iran, somalia, sudan, afghanistan, turky and nigeria and now its time for me to travel again ;)
I`m really easy going and totaly respect your privacy!
Im very lucky to be for one month in tansania with my sister ;)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I enjoy it to be with other people while I`m travelling and the same way i love to host and support travelers,
when hosting, it feels a bit like the opposite of travelling - i am not going out into the world, but the world is coming to me ;o)
in both cases i enjoy the process of broadening my horizon and personal growth through each interaction - along with some light fun as well of course!
consequently, when i receive requests i prefer surfers who feel similar about it and reflect that in their messages; refering to my profile in one way or another..
Interests
I love deep discussions about politics, history, philosophy and psychology 😀 that's why I love travelling and to get in good conversation with people all around the world to open my perspectives. Recently i started to learn farsi and got interested in old persian poesie. I love learning and always have a current mission or special interest ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Touched a crocodiles back 🐊 and hitchhiked with goats on a deck of a truck in the north of Ghana. Hitchhiked from Hamburg to Morocco and camped on the gas stations ...
Teach, Learn, Share
I love cooking and getting to know dishes from other countries, so i really love cooking with surfers,
I am also interested in different possibilities how people can live together in alternative ways.
I can teach you double bass and show you alternative spots in Vienna. I´m crazy about languages, so if we can share some language skills its also awesome.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can cook a nice meal for you and share some language skills ;)I can be really good by my own, but also love company if wanted ;)
