About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making the impossible possible

ABOUT ME

There is not so much to say about me! I am an opened, interested and freedom - loving girl who likes travelling around and enjoy time with dulcet people!

After working in Bergen for a travel agency that organizes shore excursions for cruise ship guests I am momentarily working as a Safari Guide for Lapland Safaris.

But so far, what was going on in my life...read here if you are interested ;)

I stopped my first "career" at the inland revenue in munich in 2006 to study from thenceforward tourism in Wernigerode! I like to learn languages, because it brings me closer to communicate with more cultures - even though the Finnish language is a challenge in itself!

To finance my study and my travels I worked here and there - doing a lot of different things, e.g. at the University of Applied Sciences Harz, in a hotel / restaurent, for a tax advisor, doing some promotion and working on some exhibitions. What comes, that comes...

I love travelling and I´ve just seen a very small part of the world yet - so the whole world lies ahead of me to be explored :)

I have many dreams and I hope some of them will become reality - I will do my best to reach this :) But as a the great musician Karajan once said: "The one who achieves all his aims - probably set those to low."

Oh, realising that there was more to say about myself as originally thought I set a point over here. More stories you´ll get to hear once we meet in person...

PHILOSOPHY

If you give up freedom to get security - you'll loose both.

"Ways come into existence, if you walking them." (German: "Wege entstehen dadurch, dass man sie geht." Franz Kafka)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being a nice guest, offer my roof to sleep under and spread the world about this great project!

Although I just have little place here in Rovaniemi where I am at the moment live, your welcome to visit Santa Claus and stay here in my very little room...
When coming to Rovaniemi I´ll try to find the time to be somewhat together... have a coffee, give information and help!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks Rovaniemi I am not anymore a newbie.. got as many requests as never before... why is Wernigerode not that attractive to foreign people!? I cannot understand... I spent nearly 3 years in this wonderful, charming city located in the heart of Germany, that especially in summer and autumn offers a lot of possibilities to be active in the nature around - the Nationalpark Harz!!! Please... could you do me a favour!? Go there! :D

Interests

I love sports, nature, concerts, travelling, learning (you can never learn enough), picking up blueberries in the forest (as I learn to love during my stay in the wonderful Finland), etc. Buuuut... mostly I like to do those things with people I like... then I enjoy it the most! My friends are the best that happened to me!!! But of course I also love to get to know new people... one more reason why for participating in the Couchsurfing project!

But in the end I am also a person that needs a bit time to find my internal calmness, e.g. reading books, making and editing photos, listing to music, beeing creative, playing the guitar and much more... damn, I have to much interests ;)
