About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Traveling and experiencing life :)
ABOUT ME
I just graduated form high school some weeks ago and now I´m ready to explore and to think about myself and my future goals while I travel.
I work for a NGO called "The Global Experience". Trough these great people I got the chance to meet people from all over the world.
What you also should know about me:
1. I wish to meet even more different kind of people from all corners of the world. I love open minded and smart people who like little adventures.
2. I can cook for you and I promise you will love it!
3. I don’t snore, I sleep like a stone. Just put me in a corner and you won’t notice I am there. I can even sleep underneath the couch with my arm as a pillow ;)
PHILOSOPHY
You can get freedom, but you have to take a step.
Happiness is only real when shared. (Into the Wild)
The world is a reflection of yourself.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to travel! I have been in Portugal, England, Italy and other parts of Europe. I also spend some weeks in South West Africa, Namibia where I lived in a school hostel.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I finally had my first couchsurfing experience! I really love to meet random people! :)
WWOOFING EXPERIENCE
I love couchsurfing. Something similar to couchsurfing is WWOOF (Willing Workers on Organic Farms). You work 4-6 hours a day for food and accommodation. I traveled New Zealand in 3 months doing WWOOF. Living and working with 9 different families/couples. It is an amazing way of cultural exchange!

Film: 'Into the Wild' 2007
"The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head. "
