About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reinventing life after finishing university and entering into "working life"...

ABOUT ME

I am an open-minded, uncomplicated, mostly smiling person, courious about the things to come.
I finished my university studies last year. Now I am lucky to have found a job where I can do what really interests me and where I can do what I believe in. That is a really great thing!

PHILOSOPHY

Look closer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing and hosting

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far a few times couchsurfing in the UK and France.
For references, search for the profile "Natalie Rath" in my list of friends (we have couchsurfed together).

It was great every single time. You are able to learn so much more about a country when you do couchsurfing.

Interests

I do photography the old fashioned, analogue way, which is great! I like big, lively cities as much as quiet nature. I like cooking together with friends. And, of course, I am interested in politics and history and like to discuss, especially if other persons have different views from which I can learn.

Although I know not much about art, I am always eager to expand my little horizon..!
