CURRENT MISSION

Having something to be grateful for at the end of each day.

ABOUT ME

I'm energetic, friendly, open-minded and interested in what people really are concerned with, but I think I'm not that good at smalltalk.
Like: feeling useful
Don't like: having nothing to do

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because you don't know a place until you know the people who live there...
I had the chance to visit a friend in Madrid this year and I never would have enjoyed the city that much if she hadn't shown me how real "madrileños" live!

Interests

Trying new things! I'm a really curious person, sometimes perhaps a bit too much!

Being outdoors! I like all sorts of activites that take place in the countryside such as hiking (especially in the Bavarian Forrest near where I come from), biking, inline-skating, cross-country-skiing, horse riding, rowing on the Danube, swimming in every possible location I can find...

Reading, listening to and making music on the piano, singing (but rather/better on my own), cooking...

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier, Harry Potter, Jane Austen Novels

My taste for music is quite a melting pot...
I really dote on classic music, especially piano music (my absolute favourite is the Sonata in b-minor by Franz Liszt), but I also enjoy listening to Nightwish, Eminem, country music and Leona Lewis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving a snowmobile in the ice-cold winter of Finish Lapland through an incredible landscape covered by an orange sun...

Climbing on a mountain at night to see the sun rising...

Teach, Learn, Share

Where I've grown up (which is a small village in Bavaria with quite exactly 11 houses) there are all sorts of funny customs I can tell you about!
