ABOUT ME
Hello I'm a young graphic designer and photographer from Hamburg Germany and I want to see the world!:) My personal passion is photography and art in general. I also enjoy music of all kinds, movies, theatre, architecture and everything you can find on fleah markets ;)
I guess I am a fighter always fighting for the thing I love. Always trying to improve. Always dreaming and hoping. Sadly a big procastinator sometimes. People say I'm intense in a way, with things and people I am interested in. I catch fire easily and I can be almost too euphoric about little things like a squirell or a ladybug. Sorry for that!:P If you meet me I will probably be shy but warm up easily. I love to communicate but enjoy silent moments just listening to myself as well since I'm a homebody out of nature
PHILOSOPHY
mmm I guess I wanna be here and now! I wanna create and be inspired. Meet wonderful people, travel and enjoy what live can offer. Dream sometimes and make dreams reality...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had a couchsurfing experience once in 2008 and it really changed my view of live! To meet such wonderful people such openminded and nice personalities...it was for sure the biggest adventure of my live and I really want to do it again!
Update: my second couchsurfing experience in 2011 with a friend in London was even more amazing than I could imagine. We experienced so many beautiful things and people and our host was just wondeful to us.
This April 2012 I'm going back to italy to see my friends from italy again. It is amazing the people you get to know during couchsurfing trips and the friends you make for life.:)
Interests
I can sink into movies and music with all I have. A day without muMovies are probably the most amazing art form to me. They are able to capture and swallow you inside...I like to dance and sing when I'm alone. My biggest love and passion in live is Photography and I'm sure it will be also my last love. I'm always on the search for motives to improve myself as much as I can. This is what makes my day. Next to a good cup of hot chocolate and ice cream.:P I love sun and the sea since I come from the German coast. Love mountains especially the french alpes where I lived for a bit. love to be creative in every part of live such as decorating my flat and even when creating outfits. I make jewelery sometimes and I love to bake to Elvis.
