About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to enjoy every moment and chance I get.

ABOUT ME

I am finishing my studies to become an environmental engineer.

I´m a very natural, kind and honest person who lives in the present. I love to do things I´ve never done before and go to places where I haven´t been.

PHILOSOPHY

"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R.Tolkien

Stressing too much about things requires too much time and energy, which you could use way better.

"Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is." - Oscar Wilde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started couchsurfing by travelling 2 months around Europe. At the moment I haven't been able to surf as much as I would have wanted.

Now I'm mostly hosting, whenever some lost soul gets lost here or otherwise as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had only positive experiences so far and that's the reason why I still want to participate doing my part so that others would enjoy couchsurfing as much as I do.

Interests

Books, movies, music, photography, sports, nature and the environment, different cultures, history, gaining new experiences, getting to know new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There´s so many things so I could say. Still I´m going to settle for one little smaller thing: one Midsummer night, when I stayed up drinking beer and talking shit with one of my best friends, who died one year after that, next to a fire. We watched the sun go down just in front us which made a golden bridge on the water and coloured the skyline red. After that everything was serene. Then a couple of swans appeared and mist began to rise and dawn started to break free.
To completely understand this story, you would have needed to be there. As this is impossible, I have a couple pictures in my gallery, that might illustrate at least something about the view.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you thing a or two about fruit flies for example how to separate males from females by just looking at them, if we are ever to meet. I can teach you how to fold balloon animals or flowers from napkins, etc.

I want learn anything worth learning, so if you´re willing to teach something, be my guest I´m up for it.
