CURRENT MISSION

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are - Samuel Johnson

ABOUT ME

i'm a free-thinker, who loves taking every chance to get to know new people, listen to their individual stories of life and especially explore their culture!
Those experiences broaden my mind and make me think outside the box, that's what i'm looking for.
It's in my nature to be very cordial and open hearted, i appreciate an honest communication, like to laugh and enjoy life :)

PHILOSOPHY

The day is either your friend or your teacher

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to explore new countries and cultures as a Surfer!
I'm also willing to give an impression of the german way of living as a host, or just to be a simple help when a dry place to stay is urgently needed ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoyed many beautiful moments as a Couchsurfer and received as such lots of support and generosity where ever i went.
These experiences motivated me to give the same in return, hosting people in Berlin and trying to provide them an enjoyable time.
Since i'm looking right now for a new place to live i'm taking a break as a host.
But as soon as i will have settled down somewhere again i'll be happy to open my home for new interesting souls! :)

Interests

I'm a true foodie and love to explore other countries culinary traditions.
If i want to feed my soul though i just lay down and get lost in music that moves me in some way, go to concerts or small spontaneous jam sessions.
Otherwise i enjoy wandering around in the city taking pictures or look for inspiration in photo exhibitions and art galleries.
I'm always driven by my curiosity and truly enjoy meeting like-minded souls while i'm traveling - sharing great talks and exchanging perspectives.
Or to meet with my friends and discuss about life, watch movies or be goofy.
As a child from the countryside i love being in nature and to escape into the next available greenery when the city or my life demands too much of me.
Always down for camping & hiking :)
