I explored life in its many forms for so many years in order to discover what was out there. I now live in my own flat in Berlin since 5 years.

Here I have really found myself and feel it is really home, where I can continue to develop my character, work on myself and trust more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My CS experience has gone well and opened doors and I had a lot of fun along the way! I loved the project as it was a big part of my travelling experience for the first few years and although it's changed recently, I like to host interesting people now and again.

I feel the idea of allowing someone into your home emphasizes the solidarity we have as human beings. If we can conquer fear we can also overcome hatred, racism, homophobia, intolerance and preconceptions.

I just hope people who come here understand that it's my home, that I tend to have activities everyday and they are happy enough to adapt to that.

Interests

I enjoyed travelling and like meeting people and listening to what they have to say. After all this is an investment not only in knowledge of their ways, but a knowledge of yourself and areas where you need to improve and grow.

Love techno parties, cycling around Berlin and exploring Neukolln bars to get to know the hardened locals who lived through the most intense years of its history.

I like talking about topics like feminism (as I value equality, however difficult it is to accomplish) philosophical insights, utopian ideologies and amateur anthropology (connecting with other cultures was the essence of why I became a traveller). LGBTQIA ally and like talking about it.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to techno, indie and punk generally. Saw Boy Harsher live at SO 36 and they were fab!

I also like reading up about geopolitical struggle and learn about international leftwing movements.

I enjoy listening to different music from classical to rock or hardcore to techno..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived having all my stuff stolen in ecuador and reached Peru on $50 with nothing but a board under my arm and a t-shirt. I couldn't even find some flip-flops so i went barefoot all the way!
I also found myself roving through Australia. That was essential for the beginning of growth and a real self-discovery on the road from one side to the other.
I hitched Europe four times that truly gives real meaning to the adage that the journey is the destination. (is that three things? oops)
I came to Berlin on holiday for 2 weeks and stayed for 5 years :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I was a Berlin tourist guide so I can show you around or take you to some bars and clubs.

I like to chat about lots of subjects, after all we do receive and understand a lot more when we sit and listen even if the words are just vehicles for our message.

I was trying to progress from vegetarian to vegan until I started foodsharing.

I want to practise German after reaching B1 level and can teach Spanish or French.

I sometimes cook at a local kufa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to practice speaking languages and can share some great travel stories and experiences of different sub-cultures. I like to cook, and share my understanding of Berlin and current political scenarios.
