About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After having traveled for one year in the middle east and south east Asia I am coming back to middle Europe. Here my first mission is to work at the Oktoberfest (selling gingerbread hearts). Therefore I am searching for a place to stay. I joined two intensive Traditional Thai Yoga massage courses during my travels and started recently to practice. So besides a lot of stories, I can also offer massages in exchange ( but of course either before or after the Oktoberfest). Looking forward for this time!

2016:
A portuguese friend and me, we want to get to know whether its really possible to live without having any expectations. Therefore we will ask people with different cultural background. She is in Colombia right know and me, I am in Israel.

Besides all this traveller-normative life, my current mission is to learn to make a handstand without any help and afterwards to learn to walk on my hands

ABOUT ME

I think, like its for everyone else it's really hard for me to describe myself.
I love the nature and beeing outside. During holidays I always try to have some weeks free to travel around, to get to know new persons and to learn about other cultures. Right now, I had this amazing experience of having lived in Portugal. I had so many new impressions and loved it so much to get so close with the culture.
I would say that I am talkaktive and enjoy hanging around with friends and flatmates.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't cry over splitted milk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE\
I can't say it yet, because I have not that much experiences. But my current experiences were really good and I don't wanna miss one of them.
A friend of mine and me, we were hosted in Copenhagen, in Upsalla and in Oslo during a route trip 2011. I was hosted in Kiel for one weekend 2012 and offered my couch once for two friends. Besides this a flatmate of mine also hosted several persons, so I also had the chance to exchange some expierences with them.

Interests

I did a thai massage workshop in 2016 and 2017. I planned to continue it, but the life interrupted this plan.
I do regularly meditation and I currently had the chance to dive into Qigong.
In October 2018 I started my yoga teacher training (Anusara Yoga)
Last but not least I love good food. So I love preparing it and sharing it with flatmates/friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think there is not only one big experience in my life I made. There are often so many little things which make life worthful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love chatting about different cultures and learn it from face to face and not out of books.
I can share my knowledge about Thai Massage and my very rencent experiences on permaculture projects where I spent almost two months in Portugal

What I Can Share with Hosts
