About Me

CURRENT MISSION: Exploring what our planet has to offer and according to this learn more about my self and others, hiking in the rainforest, learn free diving and hopefully get rid of my anxiety of the ocean, learning another language. Learn how to do perma culture. Learn how to build a wooden shed. ABOUT ME: I was born and raised in Germany in a small town in Bavaria. Due to this: I love beer. After my apprenticeship as mechanic and my study of biotechnology I realised that I have to travel and see more of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Of course as everybody: to be as close as possible to the citizens of a country/city, to learn more about their lives and culture. And they have the best insider infos. And being a host to bring my culture/country/city to everybody who’s interested in, save people for stereotypes and traps, show them valuable places (depends on common interests)

Interests

Nature lover and everything that’s attached to it. I love cooking, it sets me in a meditational state and the eating after it is even better. Maybe I love eating more than cooking, especially in other countries. So many delicious things to eat. I’m a pretty active person, I can relax a few days (means 1/2 d, basically after a hard night out) but than it’s time for action again. That contains a bit sport as well: swimming is my favorite, after that yoga, hiking and running. But even walking around randomly is one of my favorites.

Music, Movies, and Books

Thats so hard to say, depends on my mood. But basically my mood is down for hiphop in all his varieties and Alternative (I love this term, because everything can be alternative). I really like when others choose the movies, but if we’re ending up in watching one I definitively have also a few recommendations (except of horror). While studying I only read books referring to the modules.. looking forward to read others and happy with any recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumping out of a airplane.Got almost ship-wrecked in the aria, was fun though. Was surrounded by fishes while snorkling. Climbed a few little mountains. Saw wild elephants in Malaysias rainforest.
List is in progress

Teach, Learn, Share

I do a few things on my own, like soap or deo for example. I teach myself in crocheting and knitting. Let’s say I have the basics, which I could share with you.
I’m always happy when I can improve my english skills. Aaaand learning new recipes from other kitchen cultures.
I can share a few stories with you but only in exchange for your stories.
