LIFE PHILOSOPHY
Eat the nice food. Drink the good wine. Walk barefoot on the beach. Decide every day to be happy. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Get over yourself. Enjoy the rain. Revel in the sunshine. Seek discomfort. Wear comfortable clothes. Share everything. Waste nothing. Give also to people who have more than you. Never stop learning. Be honest. Forgive. Move on. Trust. Be kind. Be human. Be yourself. Embrace your mistakes. Love animals. Compete only with yourself, not others. Listen actively. Talk passionately. Have an opinion. Treasure friendships. Value family. Hug people you care about. Be generous. Laugh often. Cry when you want. Be true to yourself. Smell the sea. Hear the waves. Listen to the birds. Be grateful for every day. Trust God.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To learn, to give, to receive
I don’t just want to travel around as a tourist, but also meet locals and want to experience how people live in their environment. This app makes this possible and I admire so much that this is even possible an people offer their couches for free. I want to share my experiences with other people and maybe even inspire them.
Interests
I love hiking and tramping up mountains - cleansing your mind, meeting people, getting fit, having fun, etc.
Loving personal growth stuff so I hear many podcasts, sermons, audiobooks, etc. Trying to be more consistent with this as being a very inconsistent person. You can never learn to much!
Otherwise I’m always down for boardgames, sometimes I go geocaching or just learn something new. At the moment I really want to learn how to sail: Any sailers out here, hit me up yeet
Other things I want to do:
- Walk the PCT from Mexico to Canada
- Go on a polar expedition
- Learn to surf
- getting lost
- food lover
- living life to the fullest
- swimming in the sea
- cold showers
- hiking in the mountains
- being spontaneous
- seeking discomfort
