About Me

****************************
Starting to host again after several years - you are welcome!

CURRENT MISSION
If you don’t climb the mountain, you will not see the plain.

ABOUT ME
I like the easy and uncomplicated life, but I dont want to miss the unexpected. Every day is a new start full of opportunities - you just have to grab them.

PHILOSOPHY
Kind and good people see kindness and good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to meet new people, get new ideas, have fun, enjoy life. I like to smile but much more I like to see others smiling - even if they smile about me :)

I live now at two places:

Teach, Learn, Share

In my job I am confronted with new challenges every day,
so I love to LEARN, I like to SHARE and from what others told me I am good at TEACHING
I just request people to be open to new thoughts as I am open to every thought.

That doesnt mean you have to see everything the same way, just try to understand the others point of view.
