About Me

Usually in good mood, up for anything, as long as there's no plan ;) always enjoying the company of openminded people, thats why I generally try to use my freetime hosting or surfing... obsessed with Salsa, Bachata and Zouk.

PHILOSOPHY

go somewhere you have never been before!

Interests

Salsa, Bachata, Zouk, Lambada, Kizomba, Forro... local food markets, iceskating, afternoon teas in winter, car rides with good music... and one of my special interests is certainly to draw off my attention from work and always ending up googling new places I'd like to visit one day :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

joining CS

sharing 3 impressive months with a Bolivian family as the first foreigner they'd met in their life, getting to know their culture in a different way and meeting so many amazing people during this adventure.

however so far every journey has been amazing in its own way... conquering chinese Himalaya by horse and surviving the nights at -7° in tents, hitchhiking in Brasil, being invited to a traditional 5-day-wedding in India, dancing Mambo on New Yorks rooftops, partying the nights away in Tel Aviv's colorful nightlife, climbing 5400m high mountain Chacaltaya in the Andes in Bolivia, living with the Bedouins in the Jordan desert, spending the nights awake in Tokyo, exploring the world's airports for sleeping facilities, spending NYE in Rio at a 300 people cs-reunion... and hopefully a lot more to come!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you magic tricks, how to do a proper Indian headshake, how to swear in Spanish, how to do the Cupsong... or alternatively just share some life stories :)
