About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be true to myself

ABOUT ME

6 years ago when I finished school a crazy journey began and brought me to the place I am in now. (still figuring out that place haha) I travelled a few years, walked 2000 KM in one summer, did a course in wilderness therapy, lived in Ireland for 8 months but more important then that I met wonderful people who taught me so much and I met my own heart that taught me even more.
My life is a choice and as I realized that there was no need anymore to judge about what other people choose for their life :) I am joyful, interested in all kind of new experiences and not afraid of my own truth. I love being with myself equal as I love sharing beautiful moments with others. I really want to live life according to my heart but at the same time not exclude society from my experiences.
What time is it? NOW
Where am I? HERE
What matters? the MOMENT

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

WITH JOY!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Via CS we met a few of the most wonderful guys ever!!!! When we tried cs for the first time in Melbourne we stayed with 4 italiens.... actually just for 3 nights...but after we realized how beautiful this people are we ended up staying there for a couple of months...this friendship is for life and we will always be so gratefull `cause we had the chance to meet them!!! This is just one example which shows how amazing cs can be....it is just the perfect way to meet new, open-minded and interesting people from all over the world...and we are already looking forward to the next experience like that!!!

Update:
Just hosted a wonderful polish family for the first time and LOVED it. I want to host more... people come to Göttingen :)

Interests

Music, traveling, nature, dancing, climbing, hiking, people, books, cooking

I really turned into an outdoor person over the last years (to my own surprise) there is nothing that I love more then the simplicity and adventure of hiking for 2 weeks with a tent and without a plan or just to go into nature and spend some time outside.
I love people as well and I like traveling because it always makes me more to the person that I want to be.
I can be very quiet at times as well where I just read a lot and express myself with painting and playing music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music as much as modern music. Such as Nils frahm, M83, Olafur Arnalds, The cat empire, Radiohead, Chopin, George Winston....

I love reading and I have so many favourite books but here are 5 of them that I have read many times: Veronika decides to die, The way of the peaceful Warrior, The end is my beginning, legacy of luna, Courage (from osho)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently walked to Berlin to see a gig with my best friend. We walked for 2 weeks from a small german Island to our capital and next to all my travels that might sound less exciting but for me was so special because it showed me that adventure can be found anywhere.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lets teach each other acceptance for differences
Lets learn from our mistakes
Lets share the joy and love for life

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share stories and I also love to listen to other peoples stories. I am a passionate cook and I love to cook for other people so whether I am hosting or surfing I barely miss a chance to cook a nice dinner for us ;)
