CURRENT MISSION

reconnecting with the real world

ABOUT ME

Well it's not easy to write about oneself. I might be repetitive, but I'm just another friendly, fun girl who loves to meet people in the most unexpected ways and loves having good conversations. I also love jam sessions, playing the piano, cooking for friends, painting, singing in the shower, hiking and watching good movies. I am a great listener but also like to be listened to. I am a very energetic person but I can also become pretty lazy if I don't get too many incentives.

PHILOSOPHY

I do my best to be happy and to make people around me happy as well. Kant said that you should never treat people as a means to some end, but you should treat them as ends in themselves instead. I guess that's what makes us human. We were born to bring harmony to this world, we're not here to destroy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been an inactive member for a long time but I'm finally ready to join the community and attend their meetings! Will start hosting from January since I don't have a home yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted by Maria Kliem in Dresden in 2008, she was really nice and she took great care of us. Apart from that, I surfed friends' couches and hosted them lots of times.
