About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Creating travel plans, dream about the world and looking for crazy things to do all over the place!

ABOUT ME

I guess my friends would say I'm an open-minded and uncomplicated person who is interested in nearly every sort of sport, language, culture and everything new.
Time management and plans are not my strengths, but what I enjoy is just go and look what happens - there will always be somewhere a place to sleep =) My greatest travels were very unplanned.

PHILOSOPHY

If you see a person without a smile give him yours! ;-)
For me traveling is about meeting people and less taking a picture with the most famous tourist attraction. My philosophy is, the Eiffel Tower will still be in Paris in 20 years - your friend from CS or other travelers who you meet might not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a member of CS since March 2010 and I'm really looking forward to hosting or surfing with CS frequently. As I heard of this page I was totally inspired and happy that something is possible in a world where you hear every day bad stuff in the news.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experiences were just great. My brother and me traveled by train during a week through France and spent the 4 nights with two people from CS. Furthermore, I went to various CS-meetings in different countries and to a CS weekend in Australia, which was good fun.
