CURRENT MISSION

Learning by doing.

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy-going and am currently trying to master life and everything that comes along with it. Whenever I have time and money at my disposal I like to travel - see the world and meet the people.

PHILOSOPHY

You live, you learn. You learn by doing. If you do stuff, you're likely gonna make some mistakes along the way. Since mistakes are inevitable, make the best out of them.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am generally available as a host and sometime in the near future would also like to finally surf some couches.

A couple of months ago I have started a CS board game group here in Essen because I love to play, but since I am new to this town, I don't have many people to play with. I think playing games with people is a nice way to get to know them and spend time with each other. Travelers are always welcome to join the group: http://goo.gl/edTY9

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I guess I'm quite easily amazed, so listing everything...I would never get done! But:

Some of the most amazing moments I had, was when I joined together with other people to make music. When it's just right and the magic happens, that's what always amazes me.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

My knowledge about dogs is quite extensive. I've learned a lot about their behavior, body language and their connection with humans. I can teach you how to "speak" dog, which is helpful in general (I suppose as a traveler you come across quite many dogs), but especially when you're timid around them.

I know quite a bit about the brain and behavior, since I studied biological psychology.

My English is fluent, and I'm always happy to talk to people so they can practice theirs.
