About Me

CURRENT MISSION

having a golden summer and experiencing Europe (right now County Galway and Clare in Ireland) with my husband and my three-years-old daughter.

SO I CAN'T OFFER OUR COUCH UNTIL AUGUST!

ABOUT ME

I love a cold shower in the morning, sleeping in a tent, intensive talks, the smell of climbing-equipment, good self-cooked food, to meet and get to know authentic people...
And I hate cold water if I want a hot shower, adults who think they know it better than their
child, the belief problems in the so called "third-world" are nothing to us

If this impression shouldn't be enough, still a bit more serious...
...I just finished my studies (Social Work, theatre-paedagogics and Cultural Anthropology).
I would say about myself that I'm a very uncomplicated, spontanously and lively person.

PHILOSOPHY

Sing as noone can hear you.
Dance as noone can see you.
Love as you've never been hurt.
And live as it's heaven on earth.

(I think it's from Italy?!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With three couch-experiences I still haven't had enough. For the future I'm looking forward to host people myself - not travelling that much at the moment I would love to welcome the world that way in our home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As I said I'm an absolute beginner - but I think couch-surfing offers completly new experiences. And I'm always very curious and looking forward to my experiences concerning new couches, places and especially people!

Interests

Of course I love travelling...
but also travelling in a created and imagined world. For this kind of travelling I love books or interesting conversations with people.
Sports is also a great hobby of mine, like Karate, Climbing and Surfing.
And as old-fashioned it sounds but I like being a Scout :) living in the nature, being together with people, discovering this world...

Music, Movies, and Books

My personal bible is "Steppenwolf" from Hermann Hesse.
Have you read it? Do it!

And my most favourite movie is "le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain".....WONDERFUL!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing babies born - AMAZING!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I can cook and improvise.
That's what I can and want to share.
And what do I want to learn? LANGUAGES!
And I'm interested in the individual attitude of life. If you want to share it with me....
