About Me

ABOUT ME

me: uncomplicated, open minded, funny,
Future: I want to follow God's plan for me in this life. This may consist discover the world and it's citisens, help poor and desperate people, help save the nature and the animals, learn things about myself, others and other things

PHILOSOPHY

love, and do, whatever you want to!

though the love to everyone and everything and through the love to Jesus, we can get really free. nothing can stop us, not even death. maybe we will suffer, maybe we will get hurt, maybe we will lose all, we have and love, maybe we make all things wrong, but God is allways here with us and lets us stay alive. and like this, we get the force to help all the people, who aren't so privileged like us, to save the nature and the animals, to change the world, to make this world peaceful and quiet. Nothing is impossible for God.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host couchsurfers as often as I am able to. In the last years it was difficult for me to host because I used to live on a school campus in a flat, which is not mine. But normally we can arrage something. And even if I'm not able to it, so i like to meet the people from all over the world to drink a cup of what ever and talk! I had also some experiances to surf in Engand.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My and a fried of mine, couchsurfed twice on our UK-trip. Another time we stayed at a CS's place in London. I hosted seven people by now. I always liked it very well! With some of my guets I made some trips into the Swiss mountains. Through CS I got to know a girl who I accompanied one day on her pilgrimage to Santiago. Also through CS I got to know a guy from Gaza who lives in Khartoum, who introduced me to some friends also living in Sudan, where I could spend two nights and a great day at their university.
