CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love laughing. I enjoy meeting interesting people and to listen to their storys. I collect special moments - you never can predict where to find them.

PHILOSOPHY

For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. - N. Mandela

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started couchsurfing. I think it's a brilliant concept; I used to be an exchange student when in high school; I spent one year in Sweden, lived in family, went to school learnd what "being swedish" is like. and I spent 3 month in the US, lived in a family, went to school and started to understand what being young there is like. I really enjoyed getting to know a country from the very inside and I never got used to travelling as an ordinary tourist ever since. I really really hope these "ordinary-tourist-times" are over now. I want to experience the countries I travel - not only visiting them. I want to get into the ways of living, the houses, the cooking, the music, the partys - life! Couchsurfing is - in my eyes - the ideal way of accomplishing this.

I intend to do it the classical way: first surfing myself, then hosting as soon as I move to a flat with more than one room. ;-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far.

Interests

I started being an activist in the workers union when working as a waitress, and I kept up with that.
My political views are more leftish and I involve in (legal) actions against neo-nazis whenever needed/possible.

I enjoy drinking beer! Best in Summer, best outside, best with interesting people, best before heading to a club or a concert. Ideally coming back again after sunrise and having breakfast on my roof-deck.

I also enjoy running and swimming. I love water. I love being in the water or just sitting next to it (maybe drinking beer... ;-))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't like that question. There is not that one fantastic thing. There have been so many fantastic moments in my life so far and there are so many more to come. I try just to enjoy them. Not to rank them. Not to take a picture of them at any cost or to post them on fb.
