Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had great experiences while couchsurfing! Now, I also would like to host people as this is a great oportunaty to meet people from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Nepal a friend of mine and I were staying at Menuka, a nepali woman who lived in Kathmandu. She was so open minded and we could learn a lot from her. Oh and the food she prepared was so delicious!

In Stockholm me and a friend surfed on the couch of Rizwan, who is from Pakistan. He was very hospitabel and we had very interessting coneversations about pakistani culture with him.

Interests

Traveling is a big passion of mine! I love to explore countries, to meet new people and to learn about their way of life, their culture and to exchange ideas! I like also a lot being in nature, where I enjoy activities such as camping, hiking or canoeing. This year I started my own vegetable garden and got quit passionate about growing my own food. Now I want to learn more about self-sufficenct and sustainable livestyls.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like very different kinds of music; mostly when it's live on a small festival.
One of my favorite films is: "Bread and Roses" from Ken Loach
On a cold winter day I love to read a good book which takes me to an other world for some hours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During my travels I got so much hospitality! In Nepal we've met a local artist family, who paints Buddhist Thangkas. We stayed there for some days and they showed us how they do it. We could learn a lot about the meanings of the paintings and about the Buddhist religin! It was a wunderful time!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everybody can learn something from everybody.
I can teach you in: spinning, swiming, painting, German, anatomy...

And what can I learn from you?
