About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to be a real traveller - because he sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

ABOUT ME

I could write that I´m open-minded and really enjoy meeting new people, but I guess that´s something all Csurfer have in common.

In addition to that I am an easygoing, free young traveller. I enjoy adventures! I love hiking, camping, bonfires with good guitar music, hitch-hiking and good live music.
On the one hand I enjoy philosophical talks about the world and society with on the other hand I like crazy, adventures stuff. The mix is important I think.

I´m looking for an alternative way of living. I´d like to have a live bound to nature and back to the roots instead of addicted to media and technology - especially smart phones! I believe that the world would change if we would change consumption and if there would be no money.

I try to meet my friends as often as I can because sitting alone at home and getting bored is something I can´t imagine.

I will be traveling and hosting with my husband who's profile is this one: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/jitheshmp

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did a lot of surfing in New Zealand and Europa; unfortunately no hosting so far because my student room is not even big enough for one person.
I also like to go to the couchsurfing meetings and partys.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After I graduated from highschool in 2012 I went abroad for a year. I lived and traveled in New Zealand for half a year and 4 months in South East Asia.
That´s when I started Couchsurfing.

I had a multicultural Christmas in Auckland last year because our host invited all his ex-couchsurfers - people from over 20 nations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got lost in a forest in New Zealand. Tried to get out for over 9 hours. Came in a huge thunder storm till around midnight we finally found a path and later a house. The guy who opened the door looked exactly like Jason Statham and gave us a long ride back to our car.

The 4-day Kajakingtour in the Abel Tasman National Park.

I lived in a car for half a year in New Zealand, had some river-showers every now and than, no electricity, no washing machine, no mobile phone or internet and got to see all of beautiful New Zealand.

I would love to improve my Spanish! I´m taking Spanish classes but I want to talk.

Thaimassage and Thaicooking
