About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a mission

ABOUT ME

Well, I guess my friends would tell you that I'm an optimistic one, curious about meeting new people, sociable, easygoing, reliable, and sometimes a bit over-enthusiastic. I like to spend time outside with friends, going to bars, the movies, or restaurants. But I also I enjoy my time at home with cooking , watching movies and series, reading, or playing boardgames.
I´m currently studying English and German to become an Elementary School teacher in the near future.
I love good food and beer.

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna Matata

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven`t surfed a couch so far but hosted a few great people and friends.

Interests

Travelling, laughing, reading, observing, karaoke (absolutely out of tune but not ashamed), sleeping, photography, ...

I would love to be a professional sword fighter with super cool martial arts skills. But since I don`t own an awesome ninja sword and keep it like Churchill when it comes to sports... well, I love a good daydream.
