About Me

Describing myself? Ohh. That is always a hard task. Okay. I question a lot.. The way I approach my environment, I would call myself a critical thinker. Tolerance is very important for me. Apart from that I like irony and sarcasm..and nuts. I'm open-minded, easy-going and try to be a social and attentive person . I like to live with other people, I'm mature, very independent and most of the times responsible. I travel a lot, are outside a lot and like to get to know new places and faces.
I was lucky and could live in a couple of different places on this globe (not too many though..so more to go). I currently live in Kampala, Uganda where I work as a research assistant at a University and as a swimming coach. What else? Hmm..I think, I have a colourful character..many different sometimes contradicting characteristica combined in a person with a lion-like blonde afro.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea behind couchsurfing because it offers much more than only the possibilty to get a sleeping place. It contradicts the thought that you necessarily need to have a lot of money to travel around, that 'your' home is only 'your' home, that you can only trust your known friends. Opening your 'home' - what is always proclaimed as the apparent intimate living sphere - to others, getting to know people, inviting, sharing, exchanging thoughts, accepting hospitality and making new experiences and being able to travel without needing a lot of money.

Interests

I spend a lot of time outside. Anytime, anywhere.
Big towns with a lot of noise, lots of people, lots of difference and too much of everything make me happy. I always want to live next to the most busy streets, where I can open the door, step out and the happening life around just beats me with sounds, life, people, dust. But I similarly like to walk and bike through forests, swim in lakes and enjoy nature. I think, I don't have to mention the ocean..everyone loves it anyways. Me too, for sure.
