CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Not much to say but "Denn niemand kann wissen, ob er der bleiben wird, der zu sein er gemeint hatte. Er kann es nicht wissen, weil er selbst darüber disponiert." (N.Luhmann)

I am quite laid-back and introverted at times.

But then also the opposite. absolute extrovert.

You (and I) never know.

I enjoy and LOVE life. Can't really explain why, but I think life is worth living, even though at times it doesn't feel that way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did a lot of hosting in Cape Town through and with another friend. It was fun to show newcomers around cus suddenly I felt at home in a strange place!!
these people created so many of my memories that I connect to South Africa, Cape Town, my time spent there...I am glad I met all of them!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I defintily learned that people make the place. The most amazing spot in the world becomes boring if you can't share it with someone. Experiencing cities and towns I travelled to with people living there suddenly tranformed it and I percieved it as if I was part of the place itself, not simply looking at it.
