I decided to be happy, it is excellent for one's health - Voltaire

I love the changing of the seasons, cycling, playing the guitar, singing loudly with my headphones on, laughing, sitting by the fire and watching the stars, the smell of freshly mown grass, nature, my comic book heroes Calvin and Hobbes...

Don't wait until the world discovers you,
but go exploring the world!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I really love the initial concept of Couchsurfing. Right now I'm more sceptical about the new look and branding of the website. The homepage states 'stay with locals for free' and this doesn't cover at all what Couchsurfing is about for me.

Couchsurfing is about meeting new people, getting to know other cultures and sharing. A roof over your head to spend the night is a nice bonus. I do believe there are many like-minded people out here, so that's why I'm still offering my couch to surf on.

In the past, I had some great experiences, both hosting and surfing. I love it that when you arrive at a new place you immediately have some new friends. Especially for people travelling alone it is a great way to connect with others. I also like to host people who are genuinely interested in my culture or share some of the same interests.

兴趣

My main interests goes out to music, adventure, sports, massage and food.

My daily dose of sports I get by practioning karate, cycling, running, walking, swimming or doing body weight excersises.

I have a passion for massage. Since two years I am learning about this.

You will find me almost every day behind the cooking stove. I really love to cook and to enjoy good, healthy food. Mostly I eat vegetarian or vegan and accosionaly fish or meat and always lots of vegetables.
