CURRENT MISSION

Trying to find out what's important in Life :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a student of sociology who is just really interested in this world. I guess that's why I'm studying sociology. ;) I'm active in some student and human rights actions and groups. It is because I love the people. I'm a sensible person and I think that poverty, repressiona and people suffering is just not right. Thats why I'm active to solve these problems. and it's great when you see that you have helped someone and that you have changed and improved something. I believe in an international movement of people that can really resolve these problems worldwide. That's one of the main reasons why I like living in other parts of the world, learning the language and making friends. In order to be able to work together to change the world-society we first have to understand each other. Therefore I like learning other languages and understanding the culture.

PHILOSOPHY

Get to know and try to understand this world and do what you can to reduce and finally resolve poverty and repression and stop that people have to suffer. Make people happy! And if you don't know how to do something, you just learn it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When it's possible for me I host couchsurfers and show them the city of Bremen. And when I have time, I travel a bit. When I was working on my Master's Thesis and do several exams in the Last months (damn stressy time) I had no time to participate in couchsurfing, but now I have finally free time again and I want to host couchsurfers and travel to meet new peoples and get to know new countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was a trip to the south of France and it was great! We met really nice people and I decided to learn their language.
I little experience I have had was very good. I showed couchsurfers the city of Bremen and I travelled to France and meet really nice people. I feel happy now when I write this text and think back to the people I have met.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

doing the student's exchange with Canada, living, studying and working as a human rights watcher in Mexico and participating a the student's strike at the University of Bremen in the Winter of 2003/2004 against the introduction of tuition fees and the privatization of the University. I think free and open access to education for everybody is a good Idea :)
