About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take my part in intercultural communication, understanding, and respect

ABOUT ME

I am always intended to broaden my horizon in order to achieve a deeper understanding of this crazy world and for me there is no better way than travelling and getting to know other people!I aprecciate serious conversations as much as laughing, dancing and celebrating, because experiences make us grow...
And although I myself may react impulsively sometimes the one thing i hate most is any kind of violence, there are better ways of solving problems!

PHILOSOPHY

Being rich means keeping more dreams in your soul than reality can destroy.
Every war represents a defeat of human intelect.
There are just two dangerous errors: to abandon reason completely and not to accept anything but reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I heard about the couchsurfing project for the first time I was fascinated by the idea and couldn't wait to become part of it aswell. The responsibility of the future will rest on our shoulders so let's base it on intercultural communication and respect.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spend a great month travelling morocco and staying by my couchsurfing hostbrothers (and their families),the hospitality of these people was simply overwhelming!
Now I'm just waiting for my next holidays to get on the road again!

Interests

My main interest and wish is directed at getting to know other people,languages and cultures, because experiencing the unknown is the only way of understanding each other's way of thinking and feeling, which is the base for communication, respect and peace.

Music, Movies, and Books

I always consider it to be hard to answer such a question because i am interested in a huge number of songs, books and movies. Well, about the music i have to admit an obsession to latin music as i used to work as a salsa instrucor....and concerning books and films the main criteria for me is containing a deeper message and most of the time a critical view...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess there are more than one amazing and shaping experience in my life...working in a mexican hospital, sleeping in a hammock on costa rica's beaches, walking through the souk of damaskus, hosting a young bolivian musician, having dinner in an iraqui restaurant in ramadan, bringing my muslim boyfriend home for christmas....

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I always like sharing some of my language skills and apart from that anybody being interested in a latin dance lesson is more than welcome to ask me!
