About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Woman on a mission again. ...help me become the best version of myself by being part of my travels around the world.

Update September 2020 - cycling from Berlin to Cologne. Looking for hosts, who can host my bike and me along the way :) I can teach you some yoga in exchange or we cook a dinner together- will be arriving most days rather exhausted...so, always happy to relax and keep calm.

(Update Oct/November 19:) Travelling to Portugal on the 6th and not home for a while. So, I won't be able to host anybody. Happy travels to everyone !

(Jan 2019) - Back to the motherland, since I left when I was 12 years old. You're welcome to crash on my couch and share lovely travel stories :) Since I am new in town, I am not really good at giving advice on where to go and what to do - BUT I am happy to join in and explore together (if the time is on hand). I don't have a lot in my flat, but am happy to offer you what I have.

(Jan 2018) - After having lived, worked, and studied in 6 countries for almost 19 years now, I strongly believe in the possibility of a money-free society. We have limited resources and enough around us in order to benefit from unconditional sharing, without harming others.

ABOUT ME

I would like to give a description of myself, but I think I would only descripe myself from my point of view and maybe the way I would like me to be.
Everybody's perception is different and I can be perceived by people in different ways - Some say I am really nice and others believe I am naive and they don't agree with my kind of living - But, I try to be friendly with everyone I meet and I a smile can work magic :).
All in all, I still don't know myself enough to describe myself, but you can meet me and find out

PHILOSOPHY

1) Life is too short to worry about things
2) Where there is a will there is always a way
3) Be the change you want to see

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I became a member of CS because I think it is a brilliant idea - It makes travelling and living around the world so much easier in every sense.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

not necessarily considered to be amazing by everyone, but certainly from my point of view:
- cutting down my belongings to the size of a backpack, and living with that for 3 years, while travelling non-stop
- hitch-hiked 1400Km (2-days drive) with one ride in WA
- long-distance cycling trips solo from London to Cologne (= 600Km - summer 2015) and another trip with a friend from Launceston-Hobart (400 KM Tasmania, AUS; spring 2017)

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied languages, so, feel free to practice your German or Spanish with me anytime you'd like.
I'd love to learn more about yoga, surfing, art and sustainable living, i.e.: permaculture, money free lifestyle and so on..

What I Can Share with Hosts
