CURRENT MISSION

Travelling to meet people and maybe find myself on the way

ABOUT ME

I like people in general.
I enjoy sharing experience with every person I meet. Life is too short not to be enjoyed! My favourite things are literature, arts, food, and people - not necessarily in this order. I am definitely a social person but I also like to keep to myself and could be considered as quiet when I am not in a partying (or highly talkative) mood.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in love, universal love. It may sound corny but I think too many people forget about it or do not dare express it, even though it is of paramount importance to them.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I try to do whatever I can, whenever I can and have a place to host.
And of course, I love meeting new people and making new friends (I mean this in the deepest sense of the word), even though we might not spend very long together.

Interessen

Literature, food, people, and arts are my favourite areas of interest. I also like to dance, sing, and play music with people (even though I am not the most skilled musician). I try and enjoy every part of life, especially when I am sharing them with people.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

-When I first saw the West Coast of Ireland, even my mind was speechless (first experience of internal silence).
-Once, I was desperately sad in the street at night and someone I did not know comforted me, took me home, and gave me a shoulder massage before letting me go with a smile.
Yeats's quote : Cast a cold eye on life, on death. Horseman, pass by!

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I like to share about language, literature, culture and arts. I am always willing to teach a little French or English.
Ienjoy learning from informal human experience.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can speak several languages and am able to offer classes of French and exchange fluently in English, Spanish, and Italian. I can also cook a rather decent home-made lasagna and am very much willing to offer any advice about places I lived in and/or know well.
