Overview
About Me
I´m a laid-back person that's for sure:)
So lets stay open minded and without valuation or judgement.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My current mission is to travel by myself, direction south Europe towards France and Spain. My unplanned plan might include some surfing, visiting a eco village in northern Spain or to make a pilgrimage along the Jakobsweg. As my students budget can´t be compared to the VW company holder, I try to travel with less/no money and I will hitchhike around. As it is my aim to be and to travel all by myself - it really felt like the time for it right now- I´m also prepared to sleep with ants and bears in my tent in pure nature. But of course I´d love to meet human beings on my trip, to socialize and to share thoughts and moments :) I´m open minded to the variety of humans!
Interests
I´m a very inquisitive, I love learning new things and I'm always looking for a little challenge for my self, for example learning joggling or rolling the Spanish RRRR right now :)
I love exploring the beauty of life and nature and get in balance with my surrounding.
I'm a very happy person who likes to laugh and make funny movements, I think there's no time for getting stuck in bad emotions or the past, as it's always the NOW.
I appreciate deep talks about the existence and I'm always looking for the miracle in the mundane.
Back home in Germany I've finished my bachelor degree in media management, but I had to face the truth about the economic system and I decided myself not to be a part of this fictional construction. That's the reason why I've started another study in nutrition, as Im very interested in food and cooking. For me it's always a pleasure to discover in how many ways you can use/cook one eatable and I'm more than thankful that nature provides us everything we need to survive! So I prefer to have more a vegetarian/vegan diet, because of several reasons - referring to ethic and health.
Im not a person who's judging anyone for anything, as I think everyone has a reason for a specific action and behavior.
I just live to put positive seeds in my surrounding, by talking and exchanging with people and see how the flower grows slowly :)

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite book this year was definitely "The Alchimist" as it is easy to read, but includes so many wise words referring to the dynamic of life and living:)
Furthermore I'm more interested in non-fiction books, with the focus on philosophy, such as books from Herman Hesse etc.
Im not really a cinema movie kind of person, but i like series and documentaries!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I guess a person makes several beautiful experiences in life, as it is a continuous process. Experiences just have to be noticed and defined like that. I try to see the miracle in the mundane and feel pleased for every kind of experience i make, good or bad - it all has its reason.
On this travel so far, I've made heaps of beautiful experience, I've met beautiful people and I'm so thankful for all the kind people I've met!
A weird experience was definitely, when I've slept in the woods and had a wild pig family two mètres close two me. I totally shit in my pants, but luckily nothing happened as I stayed calm!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I´d love to share humor and a positive mind and attitude with the people around:) And of course i´d love to feed a hungry mouth with my improvised cooking skills.
