Cycling from Switzerland to Sri Lanka and FURTHER...

ABOUT ME

I like to listen what people are telling to me. I think that I`m a good listener. I can speak too and sometimes I like to speak. But if I have to choose, I would listen. So I prefer a quiet round instead of doing party. But no rule whitout exception. If I`m guest, I try to adapt. Because of respect and to learn and experience about foreign culture.
I try to think what I`m doing, how I`m doing it and why I`m doing it. So propably I`m not going the easiest way, but I`m going my way. Maybe I`m too idealistic, but I believe in a better world!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to learn from 'mistakes'. So, something negative can turn into something positive. I'm an optimist (it won't make it better and change anything to be pessimist). Maybe sometimes I'm too much idealist. But I always try to learn. So I try to live my dream. I'm not going the easiest way, but I'm going MY way.
'LIFE IS THE BEST TEACHER'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm starting here as a guest because I've heard so much about CS. So I hope to experience CS as a guest and of course I'm looking forward to host people after my return.
I'm travelling for more understanding about different cultures. So I try to learn and to develop myself - 'life is the best teacher' for me at the moment.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great experience, lovely hosts. I got a deep view into the culture of Turkey and Iran - and I had the chance to teach English.
Met many hosts and fellow travellers at the CS meeting in Dubai - just great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting people and becoming friends, event though the 1st impression wasn't positive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested in religion, history, (world) politics and of course in travelling with foreign culture of the people living there.
I like nature. Hiking, cycling, just spending time in nature.
At the moment in my life everything turns around travelling.
I love mountain biking and all about cycling. I build up bicycles by myself and can repair almost everything (except suspension parts).
I try to learn the basics of the language spoken in a country to be polite and to 'adapt'. And I can teach English, French and German. During my first visit to India I went deep into Yoga and can teach Traditional Hatha Yoga.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Inspiration. Travel stories. How to travel light. How to travel for a long time. Knowledge about outdoor gear and especially bicycles. How to repair bicycles. Teach yoga. Help out with whatever is needed.
