ABOUT ME
Usually I seem a little shy, but you'll might notice that I can talk about a lot. For instance: about little beautiful things I notice, music, personal growth and non violent communication. I can make really bad jokes and die laughing about them though nobody understands why- but that can be quite catching. ;) Friends tell me, that I'm funny and cute (hate that), thoughtful and sometimes look annoyed (I'm thinking!). I am supposed to be a good listener.

WHAT I DO
After I figured that I do not find the right work environment with my studies in cultural science, I started to work self-employed in loam construction with some friends. I also do an education in systemic therapy the next three years. Beside that I i.a. organize a group for ‚authentic movement‘ and a round table about sexuality, shame and whatsoever called ‚intimacy talking‘, do sports, hang out with friends and enjoy being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet real people "in" their lives and get to know "their" city. And actually I am curios how different people decorate their flats and live their lives. ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
NZ, Christchurch: A friend and I stayed with our Host, his grandmother and their two dogs. It took us quite a while to figure out, why we were asked if we rather have a beer or juice for "tea."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I burned the soles of my shoes on a volcanco. Oh, no. That was somebody else but still a great story. And I am glad that it was told to me. I still smile every time I see the pink pillow case with butterflies that our hostess in NZ gave to my sister and me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think every conversation with a stranger is an opportunity to learn. May I be of service? :D And you will be to mine! Thank you in advance!
