About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel in Canada

ABOUT ME

It's always a bit hard to describe yourself. So, I asked my best friend to write down some words. In her view, I'm curious, easy to get excited about new things, warmhearted, communicative and a friend of nature, beauty and all of the humans (not sure what does this mean :)

I would say, I'm a down-to-earth book worm who likes to go out for a beer/dinner/gig and enjoys talks about books, films, life and everything.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything changes all the time. I try to remember that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a CS profile a couple of years ago, but somehow I lost it. Now I created a new profile, because I'm traveling and living in Canada and find this a great way to meet interesting people.

I have surfed once, in Berlin. I broke my legs and had to go the hospital for a surgery. My host was so kind. She came to visit me every day and brought me tissues and chocolate.

Interests

I'm interested in almost everything, except watching sport. Literature, films, science, new cultures, yoga & meditation, walking, hanging out with my old friends and meeting new people and hearing their stories are my main interests.

Also I enjoy traveling and seeing new places, both cities and nature. I just like the feeling being on the road.
