About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To own a pig!

To meet as many travelers as possible while living in one place - that's actually a new one :) I have lived in Hamburg for a year and still didn't do a lot of sightseeing and discovering :) If you are travelling to Hamburg and want to join forces in getting to know this beautiful city, let me know! :)

ABOUT ME

An optimist, a coffee and a cookie-addict (bacause what is coffee without a cookie?:D), salsa and tango lover, living in a beautiful imaginary world which sometimes becomes real, dreaming all the time and looking at the world through pink glasses (my favourite colour of all), sharing passion for languages, listening to the same song 10 times in a row, fearing spiders, buying clothes I never wear, spending nights on salsa dancings, meeting new people and always being late. And now I have been dreaming of travels for some time and finally doing that:)

PHILOSOPHY

"Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf, meet other couchsurfers and host:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surf a lot and I simply love it! It's like discovering new friends in every place you go:)

Interests

Dance first. Think later. It's the natural order. ~Samuel Becket.

So... dancing, reading and writing (to overcome the cleaning frustration as that one is not one of my interests! ), drinking, making and fighting for coffee (I am really dreaming of a world where neighbours would still visit each other to drink a cup of coffee and to gossip in the morning, any neighbours like that in Moabit? :)), singing under the shower, learning to find my way in a new city (or an old city - I think I will never get a good space orientation or any space orientation :) ), the Balkans (fortunately that's the main interest of my sisters as well so I always have someone to travel with me to these countries and to help me find my way there :) ) and... some others but I'll save them so as we have more to talk about when we meet (maybe during a neighbour coffee?) :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
