About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make this word a little bit shinier...

ABOUT ME

I love to learn, to dance to move and to get in touch with others...

PHILOSOPHY

Wherever I went travelling people warmly welcome me-I want to give that back to people coming to my country. Travellers, refugees who ever is interested in an exchange. I like to share what I have and what I learned and to learn from others. To have friends is the most important thing in my life! It is important not to give up, realise your dreams and to life them...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to exchange. To learn and to teach what ever can be helpful in life. For me it would be great when refugees in my country can also get in touch with open minded persons from Switzerland. I have many friends who came to my country because of problems in their country and I am quite sad to see that most people are not open to welcome them. So it would be great if they could come in touch with open minded persons from couch surfing...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new here. I have a lot of wonderful experiences with hospitalityclub. I met many people and in my last travel a hospitalityfriend told me about couch surfing and that it is a great thing...
I am happy to get to know persons from couch surfing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like the Idea of exchanging knowledge. Everywhere I go I like to learn about cooking and to cook for my hosts and guests. I like to make special sunday bread or to cook outside...I can do some Shiatsu and to teach about it (Japanese healing method, a sort of massage called the art of touching). I can dance tango, salsa, bachata and oriental dance. I like to learn other languages and dialects. I can teach my own language or dialect and explain my culture. I worked with intercultural translaters (refugees in my country) and taught them about my culture...and learned a lot about other cultures. I want to share with others what ever they want to learn and know.
