About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling around the world, getting influenced & meeting new, interested people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a girl who loves music and arts, nice people, beautiful nature, FOOD, wine and good talks. Active, but relaxed. Sometimes really shy and quiet, but that's only when I'm thinking. ;) Most of the time I'm talkative, cheerful and sunny. My family and close friends mean a lot to me.

PHILOSOPHY

No-one is as strong as they may act. Let´s care about each other. But firstly make ourselves happy. Enjoy what we are given and remember to be thankful about everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to participate in the CS by joining the weekly meetings more often as I have lately done. Hope to be couchsurfing soon again and also hosting one day soon! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was at Michael´s place in Hamburg, as he saved me from spending the night at the Hamburg airport comfy benches. Thank you again!

There was some years between that and my next CS experience. Meanwhile I surfer several of my friends couches, and had uncountable visits on my couches, but wasn't active at the CS project. Next I surfed Kristopher's couch in Frankfurt and then Pierluigi & Gianpaolo in Milan spring 2010. Good experiences and now am traveling around the world and hoping for more experiences. Looking forward to meet new people and stay in various places.

Interests

Photography, friends, MUSIC (includes collecting, listening, going to gigs and festivals), dancing, BodyCombat, snowboarding, surfing, diving, gardening and dinner parties. Seeing a lot (travelling & learning) and enjoying life in general.

Music, Movies, and Books

Husky Rescue: Nightless Night music video.
I liked Avatar with all it´s glow and fantastic fantasy. Darjeeling Limited was great, Open Season 2 is my favourite cartoon movie. Normally prefer documentary and real life oriented movies istead of fantasy or romantic comedies. Same about tv. Don´t usually watch any series.
About 100 bands I LOVE and 400 more I like. :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved myself from drowning.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH: I can teach you plenty, depending on what you can already. :D

LEARN: I love learning new stuff and hope you´ll teach me something. Interaction usually does even we might not notice it. Most of the times learning happens without knowing, just by an accident. Seize the day.

SHARE: I love sharing opinions, viewpoints about almost anything. I´m happy listening to you for hours if you are willing to talk about your experiences in life, background or homecountry and the characteristic of your country, the things that make it and its people unique, how things work there, your likes/dislikes about it, etc.
Sharing special moments is the best in life.

What I´d love to do:
* GO photo hunting together
* MAKE short trips in the surroundings
* COOK together and try new foods!
* SWIM in a lake, the sea or just somewhere
* PLAY some games together (new ones are always welcome!)
* GO to concerts, exhibitions, and other events
* DO anything dynamic and adrenalinic, like climbing, snowboarding or parachuting.
* TRY everything I haven´t tried before and see stuff I haven´t seen!! In the limit of common sense though, am not suicidal. :)
