About Me

CURRENT MISSION

For the moment: Going with the flow ...it'll bring me where I wanna go :-)

ABOUT ME

I love living my life rich of experiences. Until a few years ago I thought its best to have a straight plan in life what to do next. Well, since then a made some important experiences so that I can see both sides of the coin these days ;-D. ...This is why I am interested how other people around me answer the question about HOW they want (and do ;-)) to live their lifes. There is no decision without deciding against something else - a lovely and cruel circumstance at the same time! ;-D

PHILOSOPHY

Let's make use of one's given time :-).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hosting and surfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just positive ones! It's a great system of sharing and cultural exchange. I am very grateful for the generosity I was able to expericence! Thank you so much. I will keep these ecperiences in mind and try to pass on these experiences when I am in the positon to do so.

Interests

*Rowing - for a good work out sourrounded by the seasons! (I am not the person who spends her weekens on rowing competitions ;-))
* Interest for international policy, history, social subjects, ecological sustainability
* Nature, hiking, wild tenting is a resource of recreation for me!
* Experiencing other cultures e.g. hitchhiking through other countries gives me the opportunity to get close to the local population and to get a much more precise picture of a countries' society
* Interest in psychology - both on interpersonal relation patterns and behavior of larger groups :-)
* Photography (Portrait and Landscape)

Music, Movies, and Books

Love the funky music :-D ... My favourite instruments are the saxophone, organ and pipes (though I don't play them myself).

BBC documentaries - e.g. the planet earth series !

I'm very interested in societal questions with regard to scientific and technological progress. The latter has just so much influence on who our law systems function and our trading relations "materialize" ;-).
One of my 'heart matters' is ecological sustainability.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-getting a 2nd chance/opportunity in life
-spending time in nature... wildly tenting... preparing your meal, listening to a podcast and just being excited about the content

Teach, Learn, Share

see below

What I Can Share with Hosts

-I am most interested in sharing ideas,thoughts and experiencing each others personalities... to get to know new perspectives onto things. Let's 'share' good time together!

- I can teach you how to make delicious "Kaiserschmarrn" (it's an Austrian/Hungarian pan cake dish!)

- I am passionate about plants - every one how wants to show me their plants / balcony or garden with plants will have an interested communication partner ;-D.

- Sharing insights about German politics/society ...you could always talk with me about politics and societiea :-D

- I can share my insights into how to teach your (?) cat joyfully perform tricks and orders.

(Just for the sake of transparency: I am not the talented one when it comes to dancing etc. ...So, I'm not so much the partying type person - except for house parties (they can be amazing!) where one can also have fun by talking to people ;-))
