ABOUT ME

It is always hard to describe the own personality, but I will try my best:

If I would look at myself from the outside, I would see a very active and energetic person. I love to be active in many different ways. First of all I love sports, for ten years I did vaulting (you can look it up, if you don't know what it is) and now I love to express myself while dancing. I love nature and feel very happy while hiking in the mountains. Meeting friends and interesting people to exchange ideas and have fun is also a very important part of me. And I am very much interested in new Ideas and experiences, so you could say: I am open-minded.
I am a thinker, you could say, so I don't always take life easy, but try to find out about a deeper sense. And at least I study social work and am very much concerned about how many problems some people have to face in their life. My driving force is to solve at least some of the problems in the world... I cannot change the world, but I know that I can change myself and make a small step to make the world a brighter place.

PHILOSOPHY

As I said, because I am a thinker I often rethink my philosophy of live but right now I am discovering Buddhism which helsp my to understand life a little bit more.
I think, that everybody can make a change in this world so that life can become more and more peaceful and happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am here to get to know people from all over the world... to exchange ideas, become friends and having a good time while traveling around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not hosted yet, because I don't have my own appartment.

Interests

I think I already told something about my interests, but here are more:
I love to make dance-performances, even if I am not professional :)
I will never get bored while staying the whole day in nature especially if I can make bonfire in the night while watching the stars. Hiking, climbing, swimming and dancing are things I could always do and when I am less active I love to read and get new ideas about life.
And of course I like to enjoy life and have fun!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and always discover a new type which I like but didn't know before. I like: Ska, Drum and base, Jazz, Alternative, Oldies, traditional music, chorus and much more.
I am very happy to live without TV, because I like to use my time in a different way, which doesn't mean that I never watch movies. Sometimes I go to the cinema ore watch documentaries on the computer.
Last but not least, I love books wich activate myself to rethink ideas and sometimes I love novels which let my forget about myself.
I love Paulo Coelhos books and have written almost all of them. Other favorite books are: Die Päpstin, Feuer und Stein by Diana Gabaldon, Mieses Charma by David Safier, Das Kartengeheimnis by Jostein Gaarder, the tibetan book about living and dying, snow in the cave,...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was driving with the ducky (similar to a kajak) down the Ganga in Rishikesh :)
