About Me

In between of Bachelor and Master, a.k.a. 'Arbeitslos' :).
Not sure of what to do with the future, I decided to fill my last year with some original activities: I traveled (to Turkey, the Caucasus and Iran) and I worked (as a manager). Currently (Feb-June '16) I am living in Berlin for a few months, spending my last euros before I will be moving back to Amsterdam where I hope to be admitted for a Master's programme.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it enables us to not only meet others, but also learn from all the different cultures and perspectives there are on the world!

Interests

I try to enjoy life by enjoying the people around me. I have an interest in maps, useless facts, philosophy/politics/history/everythinginbetween and I like playing old-fashioned board games.

In the last months, I started running a lot and it is my goal to finish a marathon in the 'forseeable future'. I also love reading a book, going to the movies and I am currently doing some theatre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Deciding to leave my job and move to Berlin.

Teach, Learn, Share

For those who understand a bit of the romantic German languague: I love to travel and discover because 'Unser Kopf ist rund, damit das Denken die Richtung wechseln kann'. And also: 'Alles wird interessant und wichtig, wenn man lange genug hinsieht'.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A broad interest, an open mind and a slightly disordered sense of humor.
