Hey there! I find it very hard to explain myself through a text, but luckily when we meet you will be able to form your own opinion as we will share our thoughts and experiences.
I am studying in Oldenburg, Germany.
I am very interested in living a sustainable life and sharing my experiences and my knowledge with other people, as well as I love to learn new things and different opinions.
I love to be outside in nature and this is why I want to harm this planet as little as possible.
I really like to cook and prepare food and I love to try out new recipes.

I am always looking for ideas to live a more relaxed and less stressful life, which can be quite hard being a university student. This is why I want to focus more on spending time with people instead of devices, and exploring the world around me, worrying less about my to-do list.

I have also started enjoying meditation and yoga and being more mindful about myself and my actions. Being mindful is not only good for my soul, but also for those around me :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to travel and explore places (as everyone here, I guess). During my childhood I have been living in a few different countries with my family. I grew up with three languages (German, Dutch and Norwegian). I love all the countries that have been important for my development and I love to still have friends in all the locations.
Traveling to new places has taught me a lot and I want to continue making friends abroad and get a glimpse of their lifestyle (yours!). I really love to meet new people with different backgrounds and opinions and love to be inspired with new ideas.
Also my "mission" is to travel by plane as little as possible to make my trips more sustainable. To get somewhere I will need to stay in different places on my way and experience even more interesting countries and cities.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to watch inspirational movies and documentations, because I find it really important for me to form opinions based on knowledge and experience (of others or myself). But I can also get very addicted to netflix series! My favorite series character is Rory Gilmore from "Gilmore Girls", I can really relate to her.
I love music from old times and especially rock music like Nirvana, Billy Talent, Linkin Park and many more. When I hear a very good song, I am likely to check out all the songs of that band and listen to them over and over!
I like to read crime, science fiction and novels. I recently read "The kite runner" (Khaled Housseini), and I can really recommend that one!
I love reading and thinking and I usually have a book in my pocket.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
