Overview
About Me
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~Mark Twain.
Independent Traveling is one of the greatest joys of life.
I truely believe I have become a better and wiser person trough each and every country I visited.
I met some lovely people thanks to CS and I enjoyed and appreciated each moment from the experiences.
I love to travel and see how locals live. Luxury hotels and crowded touristic places are no longer interesting to me hence what interests me most is the vibe, the feeling, the way of life of locals in the given place.
I find myself contrasting how things are being done in the visited country.
I love everything different from home:
different food, different landscapes, different culture, flora & fauna...
I don't judge based on the perceived class, language, culture, race & religious divides, but I want to explore and am filled with loads of curiosity.
I am very interested in telling each other stories and finding similar interests even if one cannot see them on the first glance from the profile!
I love connecting to people very different from myself and thus find how similar we are after knowing each other better!
I really respect the way my host lives and follow it.
My fetish is to adapt to different ways of life, societies, cultures but still being myself- just respect their customs and behave likewise is an experience!
I love spirituality and I could talk about god, destiny and why we are in this world for hours.
I am open for any spirirtual thought and discussion.
PHILOSOPHY:
If our minds are captive to prejudice, conception, or prejudgment, we will never see the beauty or truth of anything.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Seriously? Why not?
What is more enjoyable than opening your arms and embrace people who are different but similar to you?
Being a traveler (csurfer) it exposes you to different cultures and different people who have different ideas.
I believe having the chance to have an encounter with different people you usually wouldn't meet is something that deeply enriches my being.
Interests
Other interests:
;LANGUAGES! I am a language fanatic! While other people listen to music while driving in a car (am currently doing a Roadtrip trough West Australia) I'm learning Russian. Hell I was so proud when I was able to read the first few words and write them down in their letters 2 days ago lol :D I speak German, French, Spanish, Polish and English fluently and am currently learning Russian and Arabic.
;FOOD! I am a good lover and fan of healthy nutrition. I have been told I can eat QUITE A LOT for a women hahaha
Maybe it has to do with my sign: I'm taurus. Taurus are generally known as food lovers throughout the world.
I enjoy cooking together with friends but if I cook alone rather to follow a recepie I improvise a lot.
CULTURAL EVENTS! such as going to the theater
;SPORT AND OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES! I only feel fullfilled being outside in nature.
;CULTURAL EXCHANGE!
;WORKING AGAINST PREJUDICE!
t;Recognizing the good features and beauty in every single person ;
