About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every minute

ABOUT ME

I love board games, generally have a lot of energy, try out pretty much everything when it comes to sports, food, new experiences and travelling,I love reading, music, drawing and I am honest and straightforward. I love sports and get my regular exercise. I am also very much into yoga. I eat healthy vegetarian food and love chocolate.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy will only tell you that there are many more questions out there than you ever imagined. Philosophy is a wonderful playground!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a communicator. Write for newspapers and the web and enjoy getting in contact with lots of good people. I have travelled for twenty months in a row from 2008-2010 and surfed lovely couches. I enjoy returning the favour now!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Leon, Fargo, arthouse movies, it changes and extends a lot...

Books: I am a big reader. I carry too much weight around when I am travelling because of the books. And no: Somehow E-Books are not an option for me. Novels, science - I read what comes my way! Always on the hunt for THE BOOK at a particular time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied philosophy, finished a marathon, I travelled around a chunk of the world, slept outside in the hail in New Zealand . And now I live in the German countryside on a farm, doing farm and woodwork which is also a lot of fun!

Teach, Learn, Share

Most important things in life: keep your mind open, try to be as kind as possible, try to learn sth. every day, quit things that bore you, never let your prejudices about what you might not be able to do hinder you from doing exactly what you want to do, try to find out who you want to be. Be as good as you possibly can. Do not let people treat you badly!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Yoga, Board Games, a run, cooking, conversations about so many things, singing, drawing
