CURRENT MISSION

"Curiosity is the mother of intelligence" (someone else said that ;-))

ABOUT ME

I am openminded and easy going. I love to travel and experience everything and nothing. I am generally spontaneous, sometimes not, but always love adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

I live to make the world a little nicer. a little warmer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love this couchsurfing-concept, have been part of it for many years. It's about good energy - it's about NOT being afraid. This absurdly electronical website-interface-thing is actually making the world a better place (who would've thought the internet could help us do that... ;-))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosting a couple of fantastic couch surfers over the last year. This spring I was hosted for weeks by several great people in Mexico. Otherwise I have been hosted in Barcelona and Malaysia and had contact with other couchsurfers over the years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach/share: knitting - i am practically an expert ;-) Approaching my grandmothers skills - thanks to her. Mi maestra.
English and some german. Cooking ;-) Especially "experimental!". Baking bread (another hobby of mine, which my friends love me for! hehe...)

Learn: I love to learn languages. Spanish and Zapotec are my next projects. I already learned spanish in high school, but haven't used it for some years.
Arabic is another fascination of mine. Want to learn it before I die.
Learning to weave carpets is a primary desire of mine this next half year, which I hope I can get opportunity for. Also; spinning wool, dyeing wool, growing wool... sheep herding, cutting wool... ay ay ay, I like this material.
