About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a very open-minded person who loves to laugh, to hear the life stories of other people and to share a good time with them

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I love traveling and I believe that despite enjoying the nature of a country it's best experienced through contact with the locals. As I really don't like staying in hotels or holiday resorts and being kind of separated from the 'real' life I think Couchsurfing offers the best opportunity to meet locals and getting a glimpse into the culture of a country and the daily life of locals.

Interests

I'm very interested in music - listening and making. I play the piano + clarinet + guitar + harmonica and I like singing as well. Some of my best experiences include playing music with other people from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think, most scared and excited I've been when I went Bungeejumping...
And it is always breathtaking to climb up the amazing Alps and to feel like on top of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Despite teaching and learning some languages I am always glad to share my musical experience as well as learning more instruments.
I also enjoy every philosophical, political, cultural or historical discussion, especially with open-minded people who don't say no to a drink, (a cigarette) and new opinions.
What I really need to learn is how to cook, so I'm happy about everyone who can teach me that... :)
