CURRENT MISSION

Planning big trips

ABOUT ME

I am looking for interesting and fun people to meet. I am a very curious person. I love trying new things as well as getting to know people and their stories. That is one of the reasons why traveling is something I wouldn't want to miss.
If it was for me, a day should have 30 hours: There is always something I want to do, but can't, cause the day is too short.

PHILOSOPHY

We don't travel to escape life - but for life not to escape us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only done couchsurfing a couple of times until now but I really enjoyed each of them- in Kopenhagen, Denmark which was a great experience and in Guarde, Portugal as well as in Coimbra. It ws a great way to get to know those cities and meet new, very nice people. I plan on surfing and hosting more from now on. So far I have hosted a couple of times. I can't host somebody all the time because I am gone myself pretty often or have to work long days.

Interests

One of the things I love most is writing. I have been working as a journalist since I was 14 and have experienced a lot of amazing events this way. Since I write myself, I can't go long without reading a book - novels and criminal novels most of the time. Once a good book has grabbed my attention, I keep reading and reading - no matter what I SHOULD be doing that moment.
Concerning sports I like to go for a run and do yoga. When I get a chance I try new sports. For instance, I'd love to go paragliding.
In my freetime I like to hang out with my friends and travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've read too much, to list it here. I enjoy novels, criminal novels and anything which can grasp me that bad so that I sit up reading all night (which happens often and sadly when exams are ahead).
Great books I read lately were "Midnight Train to Lisboa" and "Der Fall Collini".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is too much I have seen and done that was amazing in some way, than I can list.
A lot of outstanding and memorable moments occured while I spent a year in the United States. Walking over the Golden Gate or Brooklyn Bridge are one of the things I will never forget, neither walking through Yosemite National Park. Another very memorable time was my semester in Spain and of course watching our daughter grow up.
