CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy the ride!

ABOUT ME

Hellooow fellow travelers!
Hereby a brief description of myself:
- short & blond
- funny? (at least I try to be :-) )
- open minded
- skeptical (though)
- I sometimes need assistance to open a car door. Luckily I have great friends who point out that you need to "turn the handle AND push at the same time" :-)
- loooove sarcasm!
- always in for a glass of wine/beer and some good conversation!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy your life, dont just endure it!!!

Try everything once! (except heroin maybe...)

Be kind to other people, except when they are being total assholes! Then you are allowed to hit them. :-)

No judgement!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I worked in France as an Au Pair (do NOT recommend this, children are basically tiny assholes!), I met some great people through this site! went to Israel with 2 friends in March, so we thought: why not give this a shot? Never guessed there were so many funny & original people in the world! It was a very interesting way to travel, sometimes great, but other times a bit awkward.:-)But hey, thats life! I really prefer to travel this way (not because its free, ok thats a part of it, but it just makes the experience so much more authentic!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed all through Israel, which was an amazing experience! Never want to stay in a hostel ever again!

Interests

Right now? Travelling! I have finished my Masters degree in September and have been looking for excuses not to start working yet. Turns out, traveling is a wonderful excuse!!!
Hopefully I will be able to travel in the US in the summer, but financial issues are in the way now. Oh well, I will figure something out. The world will always need prostitutes! :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Not really the biggest fan of this question. Cool people can like stupid things too!
Movies:
-I looove horror movies! Not the really disgusting ones, but the scaary, suspenseful ones! Rec, 28 days later, the shining...
Other films (that I can think of right now) randomly put together: The usual suspects, Seven, Madagascar!(those pingiuns: "Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave..")

However I am a huge fan of stand up comedy!
- Dylan Moran, Eddie izzard, Ricky gervais ( saw all three of them in London!), Tim minchin, Bill hicks...

And I do like me some good tv:
Spartacus (although season 2 is dissapointing!)
Battlestar Galactica , Californication, Dexter, Mad Men, Game of thrones! I could go on, but I dont want you to picture me "on a couch at 4 am, staring trance-like at the tv with bloodshot eyes, surrounded by take-out food and trash, while my cat is watching me with contempt!"

Music... too hard.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lets talk in person!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I make a kick-ass lasagna!

Learn: For me, traveling is a way to get new perspectives and adjust your pre-conceived views about a culture, country or a group of people. So talking about the history & politics of a country is definitely a must for me. Afterwards we can get shit-faced :-)

Share: Food? Except when we are talking about chocolate, then its ALL MINE! Seriously though, do not get between me and my chocolate.. You could lose an eye.
