About Me

As I'm living in Munich for the summer and am more or less hopping couches myself while doing an internship, I wont be able to host. But I'm happy to meet up and discover this new town together!

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest and see the world!

ABOUT ME

What to say?
I'm a student who prefers to go see the world when I should be studying in the library.
I'm pretty shy but love to go travel alone to meet a bunch of new people every day.
I love spending a night home with friends and wine but like to dance the night away in a club.
I like beaches and mountains. Being a couch potato and being out 24/7...
Guess I have trouble describing myself in a few sentences :D

But the most important thing about me is, that I suffer from itchy feet the second I set foot on German ground again :) So chances are good we might meet somewhere, someday and you can find out yourself

PHILOSOPHY

You never know if the decision you are most scared of might, be the best in your life! Risk it and always do what you love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I didn´t have the chance to surf or host too much in the past. But nevertheless I had a few amazing experiences.
When I was living in Manila, I was part of the amazing active CS Community there, deeply miss our weekly Thirstdays :)

Way too much to put it all down here. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Way too much to tell and never enough!

But by far the most amazing experience I made just recently in Kalinga, Philippines. Visiting the the Butbut tribe in Buscalan, earning the status of a `cowboy´ after getting a traditional tattoo right on the rips by 96-year old Whang Odd, the last real Kalinga tattoo artist, and being invited to share Gin and grilled wildcat with the men of the tribe.

Drinking not-so-cold-anymore beer in candle light while being cut off from civilization during a tropical storm, on some island, with great people, no electricity, no water. (Okay, to be honest: Day 3 of that started to be slightly annoying and smelly)

Kuelap - "Little Machu Pichu" - in the North of Peru, near Chachapoyas.

Having a beer on a random southamerican dirtroad on a random busstop waiting for a bus that might arrive on a random time... or never.

Waking up in the morning with the excitement of traveling and never knowing who you'll meet during the day!

The feeling you have the first time you are on a surfboard... First time my buddy pushed me into the wave I was so amazed by the amazing beach I was looking at and this incredible feeling of the oceans power picking you up, I completly forgot I was suppost to stand up :D The day I understood what "stocked" really means!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully a plesent and fun experience. I`m pretty easy to have around and there is a lot I`m interested in, so we probably find something to discuss about while maybe sharing a bottle of wine or beer.
