ABOUT ME
I was born in Germany, in Saxony, spend there the first 18 years of my life. Then moved to another part of Germany, Ilmenau to study and three years later to Munich to work. After 4.5 years in that amazing city I left my country to start a new life in Lisbon, Portugal. After a great year over there I came to Brazil for a 6 weeks volunteery job. 2 years later I returned to Germany. And here I am now and I found out for myself that it doesnt matter where you are to be happy.
In general I'm a simple person, appreciating the simple things in life like spending time with my friends, cooking or enjoing the nature in and around Rio. I also like going out for some drinks, some good music or a Xote :)))...
I love to meet new people (I know. everybody is saying this) and to travel a lot when there is time left.
PHILOSOPHY
If you always do only the things you know you'll stay everytime the one you are.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host, I surf, I meet people for going out.
I made some really good friends through Couchsurfing and I learned a lot about myself.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I met amazing people, had crazy adventures and some really nice trips around Europe.
I travelled through half Portugal, saw the nicest sunsets so far and had strange looking seafood at atlantic ocean ("Percebes", check it!!!). I danced on the roofs of Stuttgart till sunrise and talked for hours in the middle of a fountain. I went by partytram through Munich, changing the partytram in the middle of nowhere to get into one where drinks and food were for free. I went to a concert, which was officially closed for people, through the ViP entrance and had a full free party in the ViP lounge. I went to Tomatina tomatoe fight and wine festival in Spain. I learned Salsa in a course in Munich and realised that almost everybody is dancing Salsa. I went to a concentration camp with a jew and had really interesting conversations, afterwards we had party at octoberfest. I was running through streets of Spain chased by crazy fireworkers.
Just to mention some.
