About Me

I'm not that used to Couchsurfing but I'd like to get more into that simple way of exchange, of meeting new (incredible) people. Actually I'm working as a volunteer in France until July. I'm working together with young people. It's kind of a pedagogical work. Besides I'm creating and writing a journal about my organisation and the volunteers. After that I will study art.
Art is for me a way of expression, of honest expressions. I'm more than myself while painting or doing artistic stuff, I forget everything that happens around me.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've just heard about it. During my voluntary year I traveled alot and experienced how easy it is to get from one stay to another, how easy it is to meet people. I have many experiences with airbnb and now I will try this possibility too, let's see.

Interests

Art of course (as mentioned), visiting museums, going to the cinema, to concerts, to festivals, but I like also hiking and running. I like spending my time on good books and good food. I'm trying to teach myself in playing the guitar and the ukelele but instantly it's terrible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The decision to do a voluntary year. I could tell you a thousand amazing things I've done during this time.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing I've learned so far is to be absolutely honest. Honest to others but at first honest to myself.
I like honest people. People who tell you how mad they really are.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook in a creative way, I can dance like an alien and sometimes I'm funny. I have always confetti and joss sticks with me.

Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Poland, Switzerland
