About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Can't wait to get started!

ABOUT ME

I'm 22 and just finished an amazing year of work-and traveling in Canada. Togehter with a friend i surfed a lot of couches in different countries and provinces.
I want to give something back and make this cool project work.
Right now I am a student of Economy and Russian at the university of Bremen, which is by the way worth a visit. Wonderful city. Unfortunatly I can't host at the moment, because I live in a students home.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the moment. We have to make the best out of everything what has been given to us.
You can sleep, when you are dead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed a lot. I works wonderful. When I am home I host from time to time. I had very interesting guest. I wish I'd more time to meet people for a coffee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed many couches back in Canada and the States and Germany. You meet so many interesting and funny people. That is the best way to travel and get to know a country's people.
Couchsurfing is about sharing experiences, interesting conversations, cooking -whatever and not some free place to stay.

Interests

I like traveling, languages, books and politics. Hiking, snowboarding and jogging are my favorite sport forms. Good conversations, meeting new people
