About Me

NOTICE: Unfortunately I can't host anybody at the moment because I'm travelling and afterwards moving to Switzerland. As soon as I'm installed in my new home I will be more than glad to welcome couchsurfers! :)

CURRENT MISSION

Worry less. Smile more. Accept criticism & failure. Appreciate. Listen. Don't hate. Love deeply. Embrace change. Take chances. Be thankful.

ABOUT ME

Well, how should I describe myself? Of course it would be easiest when you see for yourself :P To give you an idea of my person, here some adjectives that describe me best: Crazy, openminded, outgoing, curious, optimistic, adventurous, impulsive and childish (no worries, just when I get really excited), easygoing, energetic, empathetic, understanding, cooperative, happy and I could go on and on and on, but I'll stop before I bore you to death haha :P All I can say is that I'm a crazy girl who loves life to pieces especially when around people with a positive spirit.

PHILOSOPHY

"It's important to take risks. We only understand the miracle of life when we allow the unexpected to happen." - Paulo Coelho

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." -Winston Churchill

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: His eyes are closed. " - Albert Einstein

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you never have been hurt and live like it's heaven on Earth." - Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish I could host people, but unfortunately I'm not equipped with the necesarry stuff...But I'd of course always be up to showing around the city, going out for a drink and you name it! I'm in for anything! :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I made my first couchsurfing experience from the 24th to the 27th of January 2012 and I wouldn't know how to describe this whole experience, that precious it was! All I can say is that there's nothing more amazing in life than to share unique moments in good company and couchsurfing fulfills this in every way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My half a year stay in Paris changed me in such a way that I started to look at things in a totally different perspective. I realized how amazing life can be if you're not blind to the surprises it wants to give to you. I'm hoping to travel to many more corners of the world to expercience a lot of new aspects of life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an an extremely curious person - open and ready to set foot in this magical world. I think that one gets wiser with every experience. Life is like a huge unfinished puzzle. Everywhere we go we find puzzle pieces to fill out the empty spaces. What can I teach you? Hmmm maybe you can take a portion of my life-embracing craziness with you?! haha! Or infect you with my love for children, my passion for languages and my enthusiasm for cultures? I'm sure we'll have lots to share! Life is all about enrichening ones mind with this amazing wordly diversity. It starts with people like you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love languages so I would be more than open to teaching you some basics! Cooking is a passion of mine so I could certainly cook you some nice meals like Indian lentils. I'm full of smiles and positive energy and can thus infect you with my optimism! For the rest, you'll have to find out ;-)
