I love travelling, I love to explore new cultures, people, places, countries, food, languages, ... and to broaden my horizon... and let my heart grow.

I try to see the best in people, I get happy easily about small things that make my day bright. I love to spend time with children and try to see the world through their eyes. Everything and every person is a beloved child of God and so I regard everyone and everything with respect, esteem and love.

My friends describe me as happy, open-minded, creative, curious, communicative, chaotic, dreamy, alternative, honest, sensitive, caring and flexible... most of all I have a big heart for everybody and everything :) I am sure that all the love you give to the world will come back somehow... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Strangers are just lots of friends that you simply haven't met yet. And CS is a awesome opportunity to meet them by travelling. Being with a local person is just the best way to get to know a city/country.... I love that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Hiking alone through Colca Canyon (Peru) for some days...being one with the nature and myself... :)

- Ascent of the mountain "Horeb" or also called "Sinai" in Egypt
Most of the way we climbed the day before, then spent the night on the Elia - meadow with some Beduins, between camels and under absolutely amazing starry sky. At 3 o'clock in the morning we climbed to the peak to see the terrific sunrise there... beyond words!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about different cultures and languages! Necessarily I want to learn Turkish... at the moment I am learning Spanish during my journey around Peru... but I would be happy to learn some words in any language. Therefore I can also teach you some German if you like ^^.

I could show you how to make a real fantastic, delicious austrian "Apfelstrudel" (dessert) ^^, my famous garlic cream soup, real austrian "Kaiserschmarrn" or serve you a typical austrian "Wiener Schnitzel". I love cooking and baking a lot, so if you stay with me you won't get hungry. I also love to make a delicious breakfast for you if you are my guest.

I would love to learn how to juggle with 4 or 5 balls. I can manage quite good with 3 but I would love to learn how to do it with some more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you like guitar music and have a guitar, we can share some really beautiful songs I love to sing... Hm...I have got many things to give, I guess the best comes out of the moment... :)
