Overview
About Me
[living at the moment in Cottbus: so if you're up for Berlin but also wanna check out Cottbus: feel free, I'd like to host again! Maybe I can reach more people like that, because CS seems dead in Cottbus.]
I work to travel, I don't live to work. It's all about travelling and so I do that when I can! ❤️🇵🇱
My current mission in general is to learn Polish, one day I wanna have a similar or even better level than in English. That means also a lot of work, but I love to study. So if you wanna practice and speak with me: please go for it!
I also work on my podcast, which will be hopefully done and all episodes are uploaded till the end of 2022 😅✌️ - so it's already 2023, still working on it :D
I'm easy going and like to share my experiences, great moments and create new memories. I love to have good conversations and get to know someones character, cultural habits and life! Couchsurfing changed a lot but I still think there are enough people to 'discover', people who are not only up for a 'for free-hotel' :)
I'm looking forward to learn sth new from you, to get my view widen and to enjoy my time while travelling!
The most important thing for me is:
To find joy in life. To be happy.
and I think: "If you DEFINITELY want something, you will get it!"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to stay in hostels - especially to feel the love of traveling.
I'd like to meet new people, get to know them - but I also want to meet especially nationals. I want to see how other people live and design their life. I don't travel to be a tourist. :)
and of course - to be honest - to travel (cheaper). :)
but if I'm at home: I'd like to host too - to get the feeling of traveling, to get to know other lifes, to offer an insight to my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

And music... well, depends on my mood. ;)
I'm not that big on movies (that's why my friends like to "bully" me ;) I know almost NONE :o, but I enjoy a few. I do have a favorite one: Billy Elliot - I will dance. But you're welcome to show me some of your favourite movies!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
when I was on a road trip with my best friend through Italy, we found a park of waterfalls.
at one point there was a swing, which brought you closer to the waterfall, it was amazing!
but for sure, that's only one thing - there are many stories to share and people I've met while I travelled and are still in my life. ♥
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you some German, Karate and several handcrafting things.
Polish and French are languages which I want to learn and improve.
- but if you you're into something, show me! I love to see when someone is into their interests, hobbies, etc ;)
And I'm open for every Salsa/Bacchatta-Session - even if it's in the middle of the night, in a living room, while I wear my pyjama :D
What I Can Share with Hosts
besides a reliable and respectful behaviour, I'll bring some variety and new ideas with me :)
for sure it always depends on the people and their connection/level to each other, but I guess this is sometimes also a nice challenge to figure that out and handle it. :)
I recently learned how to play chess and often I have my board with me, so, I'd love to play, improve and learn!
