ABOUT ME

Hm, what to say about me?

I love nature especially the ocean, spending time outdoors, walking or just chilling, thinking about life, talking to people. I'm amazed about the people I had the pleasure to meet until now - their different stories, perspectives and paths in life - and I look forward to the experiences that will come in the future.

Vegetarian. But easygoing.

You want some more labels? Here they are: Outgoing, independent, friendly and fun to be around (nobody complained so far...) On a deeper level: sympathetic, reflective, trustworthy, spontaneous, a little bit chaotic and sometimes complex ;).
But yeah, find out on your own.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a miracle.
Great to be here.

I try to learn something from every experience and from every person. I believe everybody has something to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some of the most amazing heartwarming and serendipious experiences I ever had.

Interests

One of my greatest passions is photography, art and music.
I play guitar, always up for a jamsession :).
What else? I like a whole bunch of outdoor-sports: Windsurfing, surfing, diving, swimming, snowboarding, skiing, horsebackriding,... oh and I discovered yoga recently, nice thing. And I love dancing (standard and latin).
In general I'm quite open to try new things (always have to taste the unknown things on menu cards...). I definitely enjoy cooking together with people.
Interests include also just lying in the grass and listen to the surroundings or lying in a hammock and doing ... just nothing, doing things that are commonly seen as a little bit weird, doing things that challenge me, analyzing people, naturerelated stuff (hiking, camping, campfire, blaaa), spending time with animals
Ok, I think I'm done for the start.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stream of serendipity...

More concrete stuff?

One was sleeping outdoors under a clear starlit sky beneath a lake. Haha, I had difficulties to fell asleep because the surroundings were just so beautiful. Ok, maybe also because of the frogs croaking continuously. In the morning the whole place was covered in thick fog (coming from the lake) and it look totally surreal. I loved loved loved it.

- Crossing over 900 km of the Chilean Andes by horse
- Freediving
- hitchhiking in New Zealand

Hm, another thing that really amazes me continuously are the poeple I meet in my life. It is just wonderful what they tell and I find it absolutely amazing that you can have conversations about really deep stuff with people you see for the first time in your life. Everybody goes his way and then somehow for unknown reasons you meet, you talk with eachother, you give eachother impulses and knowledge and then everybody goes his way again. But richer.

Ah, and one other thing is music. How people of totally different backgrounds get common ground through music.

Ok, enough. *shrug

Teach, Learn, Share

willing to share my knowledge in: enneagram, MBTI, guitarplaying, ukrainian food, photography.

Interested to do together: yoga, playing music, surfing, horsebackriding, dancing, would love to learn tango argentino....

Ok, I messed it up - to put it simple: I will be happy to share/do together/learn any of the things listened in the interest section. And a bunch of stuff, that I never tried before.
