ABOUT ME

That´s always a hard question...
I´m an open-minded and balanced person. I´m curious in the sence of discovering new things. On the one hand I am really intersted in deep discussion but on the other hand I am also up to fool around.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy this life and life will take care of you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was living in Laos(Oudomxay) for one year working as a volunteer I hosted several backpackers in our house. This summer I tried couchsurfing in Sweden some years ago and met great people there. Travelling and living in Mexico and Guatemala I met many couchsurfers on my way. I really like this non-profit idea of bringing people together. Sounds maybe a little bit idealistic and corny but if more people were like most of the couchsurfers I´ve met this world would be a better place I think.

Interests

I´m really into music (festivals, concerts, playing the guitar, singing), (street)art,photography, snowboarding, travelling, cooking vegetarian food and eating, swimming, literature,
