About Me

CURRENT MISSION

becoming a professional "experience based educator"

ABOUT ME

i am very social, open minded and i need to go dancing often.

PHILOSOPHY

es gibt nichts gutes ausser man tut es! sorry that´s german. Life is a journey , everyone is on his or her own track but one of the best things of that journey is to walk a path alongside with somebody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i was a professional city guide in my town ;) so i can tell really a lot about it. And i am usually quite well informed about culture and party things in town... so what do you need to know?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

actually i went proper couchsurfing just twice. it was in Washington DC and in Salzburg/Austria. Booth quite cool. But on journeys it happens so often that i end up on someones couch. Someone i meet just in the train or friends of friends ... so i am used to that way of travelling even besides couchsurfing.

Interests

culture and nature ;)

i like hiking, kajaking, skiing.. i go to the theatre quite often, i love dancing so i am often the first on the dancefloor. usually it is about electronic music. and i travel! i am not that active anymore but still member of germanys green party and part of an ngo for peace in syria
