About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See stuff and go places

ABOUT ME

I'm a country girl and may act as such. My friends sometimes call me a tomboy. But it's all good, cause I can be a lady if I want.

I live and travel with my boyfriend. He is a gardener but works in a suvenir shop for this summer. Last winter we worked in a ski resort in Norway. After the summer we are going to go places, untill then we want to explore Norway on our '96 ford fiesta.

I get depressed or crazy if I stay too long in one place. Same thing if I can't move enough.

When I was a kid I wanted to be like Heidi, who lived in her grandfathers attic in his country house in the Alps and made a bed out of hay.

I love swimming.

PHILOSOPHY

Party today, regret tomorrow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only hosted so far and had good experience. It started when I met this couchsurfer in a music festival in Iceland, he surfed my couch for a few nights and since then many travelers and friends from abroad have surfed my couch.

I have met some couchsurfers for coffee and drinks and always had a good time, sharing experiences amd getting to know different cultures.

At the moment I live and work in a hotel and can therefore not have couchsurfers.

Music, Movies, and Books

La vita é bella by Roberto Benigni is the only movie I've seen more than 10 times. I don't watch too many movies.

I do have to admit, that I can not miss an episode of Dexter, House or Modern Family. Not to mention Black Books! That's how I treat myself if I am too tired to do anything else.

My most favorite band of all times is Muse. I like all kinds though, from Belle and Sebastian, Kings of Convenience, The Kooks, The Fratellis, Franz Ferdinand to The Doors, Billy Joel and Queen.

Books: Milan Kunderas The unbearable lightness of being
and Der Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
