About Me

CURRENT MISSION

explore, learn, see, enjoy, love, create, listen, share, live.

ABOUT ME

It's not possible to list "All about me" here - and I think that's good! Otherwise I would really be a boring person...

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)

"Le plus grand ennui c'est d'exister sans vivre." (Victor Hugo)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to Montréal with a friend and it was just amazing! We had a wonderful host and a great time - now I am totally convinced of the idea of CouchSurfing and can't wait to surf another couch or host people :)

Interests

I love travelling - Meeting new people, sharing experiences and exploring the beauty of nature and cities is so amazing.
Sometimes I’m full of energy and talkative, sometimes I’m calm and pensive.
Besides travelling and people, I'm interested in literature, philosophy and history. I like to be creative (writing and doing handicrafts/creating stuff that nobody really need... anyway, it's fun!)
I love book stores (owning a cosy little store full of books is one of the dreams I have ever since I was a child).

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES: Once, Ensemble c'est tout, Die fetten Jahre sind vorbei, Adam, Wenn Träume fliegen lernen ... and some others, I can't remember at the moment. Do you know this? There are so many good movies, but if someone asks you about your favourites, you start thinking and can't remember... oh boy, we're getting old ;-)
MUSIC: I listen to a lot of music of the kind "singer-songwriter/folk/indie", like City and Colour and other german singers, you might not know (but I can show you some songs, if you are interested in!)
BOOKS: way to much to list them here. I am really addicted to good books and love to study literature

Teach, Learn, Share

of course I could teach you my first language, German, and how to cook traditional german food.
I love to learn how to play the guitar, but that could be difficult in such a short time...
Furthermore I like to improve my French (especially after I have been to Montréal and could understand almost everything but was to shy to speak...) or learn other languages.
