ABOUT ME
Last year I 've decided to change my life, give up the daily routine and find out more about me and my talents.
That's why I gave up my job and my apartment to go traveling for a while.
I am curious, friendly, open-minded and social and I love to learn more about all kind of different people and the way they live their lives. On the one side this helps me to open my mind more and more and on the other side, this is what fortunately leads me often to the situation I enjoy most, having a good time with good people!
PHILOSOPHY
Life is short. Have fun, forgive quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, learn as much as you can and never regret anything that made you smile!

UPDATE
After traveling through the USA and Mexico for 6 months I found my new home on a Mexican Caribbean island. I have been living there now for the last 6 years.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
starting 2012 in June I traveled from NY to California, and then to Mexico.
a friend of mine asked me if I would do some Couchsurfing. till then I didn't know too much about it but as I found out more I was quickly convinced that this is fantastic!
the 5 months I've stayed in the States I have surfed many couches and loved it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
in munich there s a river called Isar.
my freinds and me are there as often as we can. especially in the summer after work, drinking beer and enjoying ourselfs.
one day we sat on the one side of the river looking over to the other side. then i saw a woman dressed like a wallstreet broker with highheels and a lot of makeup . see climed on a piece of wood attached to a rope. she swang towards the water and back. after that she tried to get back on solid ground (still wearing the highheels) but it didnt work.
more and more people on my side of the river got aware of her situation. everyone was laughing and she, after a few awkward minutes, realized that she just had to relax - there was really not much she could do about it out there over the water. so she started laughing back.
then after a while she called over to us, that we should have a good look and jumped in the icy water with her expensive clothes and her perfect made hair. she was laughing and swam over to us.
as soon as she reached us we gave her some dry towels and a beer. after that we had a great evening all together.
this scene was not important or something like that, but it had such a good energy that it was very special to me - i simply love when people dont act the way they normally would do! that can be so refreshing for themselfs and for the people around them!
Teach, Learn, Share
I will be working on some pictures while travelling. This is what i want to teach myself and maybe this is interesting for you too.
And i am good in organizing all kind of things (that was my job for many years).
And German, i could teach you German.
But I am afraid that's about it...
I would like to learn more about all kind of handcrafts - either in art or for building/reparing stuff.
for example working with wood, painting, sculpting and so on. so if someone does anything like that... i would love to learn more because till now i am not good at anything of that
