ABOUT ME

Ahoi!

I love to meet interesting people, to see different ways of living, to broaden my mind, to laugh, to share some unique moments and to collect memories.

That's why I love traveling. To meet people from all around the world in my everyday life. Besides studying I'm working as a German teacher for refugees and migrants in Vienna.

PHILOSOPHY

Things I've learned in my life so far: (Sagmeister Stefan)

Helping other people helps me.
Having guts always works out for me.
Thinking that life will be better in the future is stupid. I have to live now.
Being not truthful always works against me.
Everything I do always comes back to me.
Assuming is stifling.
Over time I get used to everything and start taking for granted.
Money does not make me happy.
Keeping a diary supports personal development.
Trying to look good limits my life.
Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.
Worrying solves nothing.
Complaining is silly. Either act or forget.
Low expectations are a good strategy.
Everybody who is honest is interesting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There is a very small red couch in our living/washing room. It's kind of cosy, if you're a modest sleeper!
