About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know better my surroundings :)

ABOUT ME

I'm an optimistic and spontaneous girl, who is very active, loves to experience new things and hang around with good minded people. Trying to live conscious and doing a lot of sports. Currently I'm living in Erlangen a city close to Nuremberg. Soon I will be moving to another city in Germany to start a master program. Meanwhile I want to get to know better the surroundings of where I live and other places in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

In the end we only regret the things we haven't done. (Yep that's really the thing giving me the motivation to get out of my bed even on rainy days ;) )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is about the community that you can find here on cs :).
While living in Spain we had some couchsurfers in our flat and it was always a pleasure having them in our home, cooking together and getting to know different cultures. So after a while I want to make my own couchsurfing experience as a traveller again :)
In the moment, unfortunately I can not host people in myhome.

Interests

As already mentioned I'm a very active person, that refers to sports, hanging out after work, cooking and so on. I'm very much into live concerts or street music. I do love the sea anywhere, going for a swim, wake boarding or even more preferred going surfing. (Just the thoughts of seeing a good wave building up its way to you. Then there is you, starting to paddle to catch that wave. You making a smoove takeoff. Riding the wave and finish until the end.)
Meanwhile I realized that I also love the mountains very much. Going for hikes, camping and whatever you can do there.
Mostly I prefer calm relaxed nights with guitars, beer and long talks, nevertheless from time to time I go out and dance until the sunrise.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are way too many good things I've done so far.
Studying abroad in Spain.
Getting lost on a camping place after surf session. More than one hour later we finally found our camp again :D .
Slept in the desert during full moon night.
Missed the last train after a festival so that we slept in the elevator as it was freezing cold outside and the train station was closed.
Surf and road trip to northern Spain :)
Going for a really spontaneous surf trip after a wild night when I confirmed my friends to join them.
Traveling solo in *Southeast Asia*.
Feeding elephants and getting closer to them (no elephant riding!).
Scuba diving (such a beautiful and colorful underwater world).

Teach, Learn, Share

For myself it happened a lot that going the extra mile was worth going. So I really recommend you, go!

Other thing I learned is, making other people happy by little gestures is amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good and fun but also sometimes deep talks.
Some cooking skills (but I am still improving my own from time to time).
Maybe I can teach you playing some ukulele, although I am still a beginner yet, but the first steps are very easy :)
Languages, I am fluent in English and German and okish in Spanish ;D
