About Me

PROLOGUE
I have been traveling now since 2016. Well a little bit on and off with a few stopovers in Germany again to work there for a while and save up money to continue traveling. Right now I am in Mexico, trying to learn surfing..... ( OMG these currents kill me) and will go to Canada next week already to start my working holiday year.
I was hoping for a a nice place to stay in my first phase there to keep up the travel spirit, make friends and get settled. It would be amazing to find a host to share my sories and thoughts with. I love to cook by the way!

MY CURRENT TRIP
I am visiting my boyfriend who is on his work and holiday visa in Vancouver.

ABOUT ME
I am open-minded, curious, I love to explore the world, meet new people. I like culture and dancing.

Obviously, I love travelling. I was in central / south America in 2016 for a few month, to Vancouver Island's beatiful north, to Andalucia.
The last 7 months I was traveling in a minivan with my boyfriend through Canada, USA and Mexico.

WHY AM I TRAVELLING
Having spent quite some hours of my life in offices and dance studios, I realized how much I love the nature and being outside! The world is full of beauty. Unfortunately here in Europe we get absorbed too easily by our everydaylife that we have no eyes to see the beauty of the nature.
That is why I love travelling: to get out of my routine, to challenge myself, to lose my fears , explore and play....

WHY I LOVE ART
artists are usually very interesting people, who find ways of expressing themselves that sometimes touch me deeply, challenge me and raise questions inside of me which are uncomfortable but oh so important!!!! Also art makes me cry sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people and travel the world. And I believe in sharing. Since we live in a world where capitalism rules, it is good to get to know the other side once in a while. I love to think, while at the same time I try to find ways to not get carried away by uncontrolable thoughts and negativity. It is nice to calm down the cognitive mechanisms once in a while through yoga or meditation or simply a beautiful hike.
