About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I´m studying german as a foreign language and at the moment doing my internship as a german teacher in Toluca, Mexico.

ABOUT ME
Travelling is my life. I really like it. I like to live. I like to be. I like to meet people, my friends and strangers, to talk with them. Hearing their storys, their opinions, their experiences and all.
When I come in another country, it´s absolutely amazing what I see there: all that differences between home and the new. It´s so fantastic and sometimes you are shocked, but that makes it so interesting.
And during or after such journey, there is nothing better for me to write about all that stuff. Normally I play a lot of music (right now not so much) and I like to go to concerts.
But I can enjoy also the silence times in reading, writing or painting and in the end of the day a delicious meal: I´m happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I visit a foreign country or city, I guess CS is one of the best possibilities to get to know locals. Because if I travel, I don't want to see just all that tourist stuff, being the whole day in a big crowd, but meet the locals and the culture, the music, the daily life and the language; and maybe see some alternative and special places.
That is that I would try to show and give people I host.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wouldn't say that there is one amazing thing I've done.
There was a lot I've done and I liked it. That is important for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

If somebody wants, I can teach violoncello, a bit piano, guitar and didgeridoo. Furthermore I like too cook, also for more persons. A good dinner makes always fun.
I can't especially say what I would like to learn, but I'm an open-minded person, sometimes a bit timide, who is interested in new things and it doesn't matter if it's music, dances, a new recipe etc.
For me it's the best if the people around me are happy, so I try to share good moments, happiness, conversations, discussions....

What I Can Share with Hosts

The same as I've written in "teach, learn, share."
