About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If its raining look for the rainbow..

ABOUT ME

It is always hard to describe a person just in words, and sketch a clear picture of the individual, as its most important how we make eachother feel, that makes the difference. How we get a long, if we have a connection, and that can barely be facilitated without meeting eachother.However I shall give it a try:)
I'm a 22 year old german, living and studying currently in Switzerland. My chosen field of studies is Hospitaly, and if gives me many great opportunities to discover new countries. The passion to work with people, food and travel arouse in me when I was 17 and living in Malaysia for one year in different ethnic host-families, which was an experience of a lifetime.
In the last years I lived in Brussels and most recently in Beijing.

PHILOSOPHY

-All the good things have been said before, but because nobody listened they have to be repeated over and over again.-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have participated mostly by joining the weekly CS-meeting in Beijing, helping to organize and organize events while staying in Beijing.
Most recently I am also offering my couch but didn't have the chance to host anyone yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have experience CS as an awesome help during my stay in China. From my very first day on I already met and knew fellow couchsurfer and within no time I had a huge bunch of french that I had lots of things in common with, that where openminded and up for anything.

Interests

Most recently I have discovered a new hobby- Bungeejumping. I went to jump in China and just fell in love with it. The anxiety, anticipation and this unique feeling in ur stomach when the adrenaline rushes through ur blood. Next weekend I'm planning to go jump the Golden-Eye Bungee which is 220 meters, I am totally excited.
Besides that I am also jumping around with my stilts and fancy basketball.
I also enjoy the atmosphere of a good book, smooth jazz or crazy UK Garage or just the beauty of spending time with awesome people.
