CURRENT MISSION

I want to dance in every city

ABOUT ME

I am loyal to a fault and I hate taking advantage of people or being taken advantage of. I'm usually very quiet around new people, especially in group situations. I prefer getting to know people one on one.
I have a great poker face and a very dry sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people like people.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2012 I couchsurfed across the USA. In 2013 I'm traveling around France and England with my girlfriend ( http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/blueearth/ ), meeting people and exploring new places wherever we go:

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is awesome! I love meeting new people and exchanging new or old ideas, learning and growing from each encounter.

Interessen

I love to dance! Exploring new towns, cities and landscapes. Watching people and playing games. Disrupting routines and engaging sleepwalkers. I'm a dreamer and a joker.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Watching a sunrise at the Grand Canyon was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever witnessed.

Hitch-hiking around the United States taught me a lot about myself, people and life. The selfless kindness I received on my journies renewed my optimism about humanity.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach you how to waltz or swing. If you have no experience whatsoever I can teach you how to contra dance.
I'm interested in learning about many things. If you're passionate about something I'd love to talk about it.
