About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to create a world where everybody can understand each other - intercultural communication

ABOUT ME

I am a youth worker on local, national and European level. I organise projects for youngsters to go abroad and to widen their horizon.
My personal interst was always travelling - so I can combine both in my job.
I am married but have no children.
In my sparetime I love to travel (but not as much as before as I do this in my job quite often), to spend time with some sports - cycling, skiing, swimming, hiking, crafting, reading, helping in organising projects for others...)

PHILOSOPHY

to support my surrounding and the people I live with; I am convinced of the idea to have peace and I do whatever i can for reaching that goal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To give support to everybody who needs it of the CS community - I like the idea and I do this already but on another level.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have heard a lot of couch surfing and I have already recommended to some of my friends which are using it now. They have good experiences up till now so I would be curious to do it too just there is always a time problem. I did it a few times but I host more than I use it myself.

beeing abroad was always amazing and I have already visited many countries and met a lot of nice people which I am friend with - I love this global world in general and in particular the people I met there.
