About Me

My Philosophy: Be so happy that when others look at you, they become happy too!

I'm a very sociable, open and positive person :) I like to meet new people, go out or have a long and good talk! Sometimes I also do like only to listen.
I love sports and any kind of movement: Kundalini Yoga, Ecstatic Dance, Diving, Bouldering and everything you would like to show me. I also do a lot of Meditation and Mindfulness exercises.
Recently I became a passionate contact improvisation dancer, this is where a lot of flow happens!
At the moment I'm writing my master thesis, which is kind of boring... my body is made for action.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the easiest to get in touch with locals. Connecting cultures over politics!

Interests

Yoga is a big part of my life. With it comes a mindful and healthy lifestyle. I don't take it too serious though and love a good wine or Gin tonic ;-)
I also love going to Festivals! Dancing in the sun to good music with crazy costumes!
Live spending time in nature (especially trees), singing, dancing, good and well made vegan food and I'm a big fan of life long learning ;-)

We can do take a nice walk or do outdoor activities, going to exhibitions, dance all night long, make a big cooking session or simply have a tea... I would be fine with all this opportunities :)
