I'm about to jump into my next big adventure: I'll move to the US soon!!

--------------------------

I'm not that extroverted person who is always non-stop-talking. But I really like to have nice and deep conversations next to a tasteful glass of wine or fresh cold beer :) I'm an artist and sometimes a dreamer – a listener and a reader. And I'm totally addicted to stunning landscapes!

I've been working as a graphic designer for almost 10 years. Now I think it's time to get up from my desk chair and lay myself down right on all these wonderful couches all around the world. I'm sick of all these stories my friends told me about their adventures with their hosts during fun and adventurous trips. I will create stories on my own!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well – what to say? I'm kind of a couch-rookie. I only slept on a couch once so far, but it was truely amazing. So I continue :) Unfortunately I wasn't able to host others yet. But as I am moving right now I hope to find myself in a shareable home soon.

To be honest, the main reason why I'm on couchsurfing is to have a chance to travel on a shoestring. And I really like the idea of sharing time/adventures/couches for no charge; simply on the basis of beeing curious and more than happy to meet new people an broaden ones horizon.

Interests

I like food in each dimension – even (or because) I'm vegan. But on the same time I'm not very picky on that. It's no problem for me if others prepare or eat meat next to me. Also I sometimes have a real bad demand for cheese - so then I just go for it :) But in any case I love to smell, taste, cook and – of course – to eat delicious things right out of someones somewheres kitchen. But don't be afraid; I'm not going to raid your fridge :)

Taking pictures, being creative, listening to music, collecting shells at the beach, read books to someone, listening to someones stories – all these things make me smile.

Music, Movies, and Books

Uhh... Hard to say.

I like Wes Anderson and Tim Burton. I also like movies with no foreseeable endings. And I love it if a movie makes me think about myself and my entire world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wouldn't it be very sad if it was just one single thing...?

– Sailing through greek islands in 4m waves
– Relaxing naked in a hot spring at the beach and watching the sun rise
– Hiking around Mt. Taranaki, alone and in such thick fog I could barely see my hands in front of me
– Hiking in the woods of Washington State
– Snorkeling in the red sea

Just to mention a few thing that really WOWd me...

Teach, Learn, Share

I know nothing - teach me anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could show you how to open a bottle of beer only with a single sheet of paper.
Haha just kidding... If you want to I can teach you a few german words :)

And of course I could share a lot of fantastic meals with you - I'm really talented in the sense of check-what's-in-the-fridge-and-create-something-delicious-with-it.

I also have a sailing license, so if you'd happen to have a boat by coincidence - we can go on a trip!
If you don't have a boat that's of course also fine, then I can teach you some knots or how to cook with an incline of up to a 20 degrees.
