ABOUT ME

I grew up in a border region between Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium, confronted with three different cultures, ideologies and lifestyles. And I learned that often one has to look at two sides to understand the truth. I want to be open minded in the sense that I try to understand people before I judge them. A good amount of curiosity about the world, nature and people has made me choose science to make my living, and I am very happy about this choice!

I love my day when it starts with good long breakfast in the morning and ends with animated debates about life in the middle of the night (and it only finishes because tiredness is creeping up).
I love traveling because it opens always new views and approaches to my life.

PHILOSOPHY

Think positive, try to realize your dreams, act, and things will be alright! Even if you don't end up in the place you were aiming at you will be going into a good direction!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a good 2 hands full of Surfers from the UK, US, China, and Europe, and was once hosted in Spain. I try to keep in touch with the Zurich CS community on monthly meetings and I am very engaged in mouth propaganda.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had great experience hosting and being hosted. And found great friends on CS. :-)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Jumping down a 10 m cliff while canyoning in N-Spain.
(Because I fought my fear. And I know I can do it again)

4 weeks camping and geological mapping in the lonesome Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
(Because I understood that your environment is strongly influencing people's dreams, mind sets, thoughts)

教，学，和分享

I love to cook together and to learn different ways of cooking and baking. I can tell you how to make a great Swiss fondue. I like to exchange hiking experiences from trails around the globe. I can teach the basics of playing piano or guitar or ice-skating.
