Über mich
CURRENT MISSION
live my life, respectful to nature and people, considerate to the next generations, hoping to achieve the nearest to happiness.
ABOUT ME
I've always been fascinated by people and cultures. Grew up in a vibrant city, full of differences and equalities.
I love working with my hands, i love nature, plants and animals (cats!).
I've got 2 younger brothers who are very different from me and my parents are extraordinary!
I'm in love with Simon, he is everything i am not and otherwise. So we fill in the differences.
Ada is our daughter! She was born on the 9th of january 2012 and is our next greatest project after travelling.
We love cooking and special food. We try almost everything and are willing to experience even more food habits around the world and in our dining room.
Which we did... just ask us about it and we can't stop.
PHILOSOPHY
I get angry about the injustice in the wold, suffering of people makes me sad and i do my very best to treat people with respect and care.
Everyone deserves a chance. I take the chances i get, but i'm still trying to find out what i want in life.
Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
We have surfed many couches now, and one thing is very important to us while surfing: we intend to make it a
cultural exchange experience, and not a free hotel. While we surf we like to communicate, share information about culture, lifestyle and food, take part in day to day activities, have a good time together.
The couchsurfing should be pleasant for all. That's our couch-filosophy! We hope to be good hosts like the ones we met during our travels.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Our first couch was in Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia.
We loved the time with the family, cooking together and talking about their and our culture... That's how we got hooked. For more than 11 months now we have been surfing regularly. Every time it's a different and interesting experience... and i hope there are many more to come!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
While visiting many countries, i believe that every country has at least one amazing thing to discover... we just need to find out what it is.
Hiking in the Himalaya was pretty overwhelming.
Lehren, lernen, teilen
I could show you some things about ceramics, but you'd have to find patience and stay longer to find out more because it's a long and amazing process to produce a single pot. (i'm still working on the patience myself)
