About Me

CURRENT MISSION

juggling with 5 balls

ABOUT ME
"We're travelling to change. Not only the place but the ideas."

I´m a happy bright person who likes to laugh and see the sunny side of life :) I teach kids in a circus. So if you want to learn juggling, acrobatics, unicycle or what ever what you usual do in a circus, I can teach you something. At the moment I like bouldering a lot, yoga and playing piano. In Bielefeld, I study maths and sports for becoming a teacher. I´m open-minded and I like discussing about different cultures. I like the exchange about music and sports. For me, it´s also interesting to find out the philosophy of life. Talking with people in other countries about their life situation, give you the possibility to see different ways of living. I want to listen to stories and experiences that have changed a person ( or maybe also not). To visit a city or country by staying with a national person, give you more opportunities to understand the culture and the people .

PHILOSOPHY

C´est la vie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I really like to meet other people who have interesting hobbies and/or come from another culture. I like the exchange and also the hospitality and openess which combine the Couchsurfing Community.

WHY I HAVEN´T SO MUCH REFERENCES YET:
My first experiences with Couchsurfing was in France in 2013. During my volunteering time, I´ve shared a flat with a Bulgarian guy, a Portugese and a Slovene. In this time, we had a lot of surfers and I´ve liked this exchange a lot. The surfers sent their messages to our Slovene. After living in France, I ´ve joined the community platform. But up till now I´ve lived in a very small flat with my flatmate and haven´t comfortable possibilities for surfers. Now I´m living with my boyfriend, it´s also a small flat, but now we have opportunities for hosting :) So you´re welcome :)
When I travelled with friends and we met friends from Couchsurfing, we used the profile from my friends, because their have more references than I. When I travelled alone, mostly I slept by my friends, by friends from my friends or people who I had met by my last travels before. Now I would like to change this a little bit and use more my own profile! So don´t be shy and hesitate because of rare references, let invite me in your wonderful home! :)
