About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

I'm a rather introvert and relaxed person. I tend to make no thoughtless decisions and I usually need a bit more time to get acclimatized. But once warmed up you can have heaps of fun and a good and profound conversations with me.
Meet me and find out more. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

- explore the unexplored,
- tread other people always the way you would like to be treated yourself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had my first and only couch surfing experiences while I was traveling Australia. I very much appreciate this stays with my hosts and the experiences I made during that time.

I'm happy to show you around Dresden in Germany and hang out with you.
My accommodation is quite modest. I can provide a comfy visitors couch.
Be aware that you will have to share my one room flat if you stay with me.
