About Me

CURRENT MISSION

just be.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very enthusiastic person. By participating on couchsurfing I'm able to learn more about other cultures, that is what really interests me. My spare time is filled with sports, travels, friends and reading. I like to observe what people are doing and why they do this. I'm also always in search of inspiration and creativity. I like to keep myself busy with personal projects but also for other people (doing graphic & web design). I also like to read books and practice yoga. I love peace and quiet but also a wild party. I really don't need much to keep myself alive. I'm happy and grateful for what I've got. Eating 100% plant based!

PHILOSOPHY

I would say I try to enjoy my live to the fullest. I really love living and to enjoy what the world got to offer. A nice walk in nature can be astonishing for me. Just live and let it be as it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to travel around and help people travel around in any possible way!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a lot of surfers at my place and it's really great to hear their stories and to hear about their plans and situation. This is very inspiring for me! Everyone is welcome! And I've surfed and met people in Maroc, Peru and Australia via couchsurfing. I've met a lot of interesting people via CS!

I'm interested in graphic design, MUSIC (really everything), nice photography, friends, stories, philosophy, NATURE, beekeeping, TRAVEL, spiritualism, meditation, conversations, having fun, laughing, our world and it's problematics, solutions for this, donating for life changing projects, and so on.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really listen to every kind of music. I'm open to discover music, more experimental or local bands. Funk, jazz & blues, rock, goa, techno, minimal, classic, etc. Philosophical books, crazy movies, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The nature in Sweden and Norway was really breathtaking. We fished from a boat on a lake. You could drink the water of the lake just like that and after half an hour we caught a fish and prepared it. It was the most delicious fish I've ever ate in my live! * Well, now I fished in Peru and ate that fish, this is now the best fish I ate in my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to meet artistic people and people from other cultures. I love speaking and learning other languages and talking about life. Learning about nature and different plants or nice food and recipes!!
