Overview
About Me
I'm a physics student and a foodie from Berlin. I consider myself a leftist, feminist and environmentalist and I love the beauty and complexity of this world.
I traveled quite a lot after highschool and settled down some years ago in Berlin to study, but the winter is terribly grey and depressing, so I recently moved to Lisbon.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When traveling I experienced some instances of amazing unconditional hospitality and during my first years in Berlin I had some great times hosting surfers together with my then flatmate daudi/david. In recent times I sadly had no proper couch available for surfers, but I still like to meet up with people. And sometimes I need a place to crash :)
Interests
coffee and extensive breakfasts with friends and soon-to-be-friends, cooking, wine and cheese, all kinds of interesting music, dancing, languages, hiking, walking and exploring, chess and card games... and people. Without sharing everything would be quiet boring and depressing
