ABOUT ME

If I could decide I would be dancing and singing all day long. I often feel like having so much energy that I could run once around the world. It’s pretty easy to elate me. On one side I can’t get enough of other people. I enjoy to take part in the stream of consciousness of my fellow men. I like to have deep discussions, I love to find out how the others experience life, love and being. But on the other side, I enjoy being alone. I can sit and think without any boredom for hours. I’m every day about to find out who I am, what I really want, what I need, emotionally and materially. There's still so much I can learn about myself.
Apart from the 'sit and think' thing, I love to have an idea, and put it in practice right then. Just do things!
For me it’s terribly important to act consciously. I don’t want to patronize anybody, I don’t want to consume without thinking. I want to take responsibility for my way of living.I can tell lots of good stories.
I can’t sleep long. I always get up very early, equal how long I have slept. But I like napping in the afternoon..
Life is about distances and balancing.
I like if somebody reads to me. I like better having time than a watch. I like better being spontaneous than having a plan. I like unconventional relationships. I like unconventional things. I like better a good book, than a loud party. I like to climb roofs. I like asking lots of questions. I like just being and not doing anything at all. I love life and people.

I tend to listen to songs over and over. I regularly fall in love with people, the world and myself.

I love raw vegetables. I normally eat them like an apple, means without cutting or cooking.. mmmh!

Best part of the day is 5am. You haven't seen a place, if you haven't seen it at five in the morning!

I am a real coffee-nerd.
If I were something to drink, I'd be a double espresso.

My friends say I am a 35 old men, trapped in the body of a 20 years old girl.

PHILOSOPHY

true happiness has no cause, it comes from inside.
I'm exercising myself in seeing the good side of everything

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly connect travelling with going to international Lindy Hop workshops. Thats just the very best I can imagine: travelling and dancing at the same time!

As soon as I have a bed in which I can stay longer than until breakfast, I will start hosting again.

Interests

Lindy hop, Swing dance. I do it as often as I can. As long as I find from time to time a place to let my feet feel the swing, I don't need anything else.

Running, I love to run for an hour. That gives me the feeling of being really alive. I brings my body in complete harmony, because every single part knows exactly what it has to do. An amazing feeling.

Singing, used to sing in a band, If i don't sing regulary, I get depressiv.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met a man, I asked him if he wants to come with me on a trip without knowing were we will go, he said 'yes' and one day later we left. We hitchhiked through Europe, fell in love and when we came back, we moved immediately in together. This was a very fast love..

I was by myself in Stockholm, then I suddenly was taken on a journey in the mind of somebody else. I got to know the world behind a red beard and got tamed by a Swedish accent. I pealed myself 'til I forgot who I am, then I left.
