"Ihr aber seht und sagt: warum? aber ich träume und sage: warum nicht?"

I believe that you have to follow your dreams and your path, even if you sometimes encounter stones along the way...

I love to read, travel, get insights into different cultures and chat the night away. I also enjoy art, looking at paintigs, photographs, collages...and discuss different point of views.

And I can't survive without sports: I discovered rock climbing and it's absolutely fantastic! Nature gives me energy and peace, I also do a lot of hiking, swimming, inline skating ecc. I tried surfing too once in Bali, but I have to admit, I am not a surfergirl yet (work in progress);)

My favourite dessert is panna cotta, I adore the Italian cuisine!

Anyway I am looking forward to meeting you!

PHILOSOPHY

can not be repeated often enough:

"Ihr aber seht und sagt: warum? aber ich träume und sage: warum nicht?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did couch surfing twice in Canada and hosted sb from canada before I signed up for this site. Then I went on a journey around the world and spent quite a few nights of my trip with couchsurfers. I think CS is absolutely fantastic as you get to see and do things that u would never have done otherwise!
