About Me

We all seem to have the purpose of making as many different experiences as possible. It's an art to completely dive into an experience and keep all of your attention at the thing you're actually doing. Meeting new people inspires me and gives me insights I would have never had in my own head alone. Discovering new places and getting a feeling for the "colour" of cultures is the most exciting part of traveling for me. As if I am a treasury hunter I'm always seeking for new adventures and treasuries that hide in sideways, on top of a roof or in underground caves.

For Surfers:

Please don't just send me friend requests without texting me in the first place.

I only host people who have some information about themselves and some friendly pictures in their profile. Remember: Pictures say more than thousand words! I maximally host two peoplr at once. And the perfect time to make a request is between 1 to 4 weeks before your arrival.

And please, if you write me, do at least change the name in your letter. (Except you are a super pretty girl, then of course you don't have to do "such hard work") ^^

If I accept your request, remember to tell me early on if your plans change. When I was Couchsurfing I always tried to plan well beforehands and keep my appointments because hosts also have their own life.

I also won't tell you how much your train ticket costs or how long your ride takes. For these information please use the SBB-App or Google Maps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I've recently graduated and served directly in civil services I'm tied to a tight budget. Apart from this, Couchsurfing offers a perfect opportunity to easily meet new people in different countries and get to know their places in less time.

-> You get a chance to see the city with their eyes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Series:
I love watching OnePiece on a weekly basis, but no other anime (except for Anime-Movies). I'm inspired by Luffys way of living (dream big) and his attitude to friendship (be loyal, no matter what).

Movies:
I've watched so many, that I feel ashamed. And I want to watch less "Entertainment-Movies" especially when I'm with friends. Because I believe that Movies and Games destroy real relationships.

Music:
I mostly listen to any music that brings my emotions to the surface independently of it's genre.

Teach, Learn, Share

I actually organize with a friend Full-Detox-Events where we introduce our participants to new Excercises, Meditation Methods and Fun-Games. -> Check out: trinity-days.net
So I'm learning new ways and methods to change your behaviour and integrate them in these weekends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a very empathic person who just wants to enjoy the time given. The people around me mostly enjoy my positive energy and my kindness. I'm willing to help in various tasks, if it's lifting heavy things, fixing computer problems, answering questions about accounting or just a coaching session (for getting more disciplined or sportive)
