About Me

CURRENT MISSION

restless restless but I try hard to sleep 8h a day :)

ABOUT ME

I was born in Bolivia, grown up in Germany and after having finished school in 2000, I traveled Bolivia and the USA. I enjoyed the experience of traveling all on my own, because people are everywhere and somehow you get in contact to them and get an idea of their dreams, attitudes, way of life etc...
In 2005 I decided to travel again, just for the experience and in order to improve my english. I held the working holiday visa for AUS and NZ.
In Germany I use to work in a rehabilitation centre side to side with physiotherapists and physicians where we treat and cure people with sports injuries like LCA ruptures as well as low back pain or or joint endoprothesis and so on. At University I did a little science but haven't published yet.
I like triathlon (short distance) and regret a little bit, not to be able to train regularly while traveling.
Love music and good food(I´m not too demanding but know to appreciate good food, that´s why the kitchen has become the heart of my new flat :).

PHILOSOPHY

Life is now! Do not save all your money for a future that might not exist, it is better for personal fortune AND economy :)
I always try hard to see people and situations objectively and not to be prejudgemental.
Concerning environment the following website comes close to my philosophie:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

And I know nice spots to visit in and around Frankfurt am Main and northern Germany.
I´m working irregularly and won´t find too much time for you but at least I can offer you a couch, hot water and a shower ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couch was @ Lovell in Sydney resp. Windsor. That bloke is hilarious and I had the best Aussiewelcome ever! was great!
2nd couch was Tom in Sydney, totally open minded, good sense of humour and brewed his own beer!! :)
My last couch was Kat in Cairns, a true Aussiegirl with finest Aussieslang and -accent and thousands of interesting and entertaining stories.

Unfortunately I have the Impression, many guys prefer to offer their couch only to girls- for certain reasons... Maybe I'm wrong with my allegiations but if true, I wonder If this is the CouchSurfing philosophy as originally intended.

Interests
