ABOUT ME

Always in a good mood and love to learn new things. Live is too short to let slip one opportunity. Although I am originally from a small village (3000 people ^^) and feel quite comfortable in calm nature, Berlin - being for me big contrast - is the best playground for me to learn about life, culture and people. Not just as a city full of opportunities, but as well as a melting pot of cultures that inspire me. It gives me a lot, that I can play capoeira with down to earth people, dance salsa every day I want, meet people from all over the world and other cultural background. Rhythm, music and dance is everything to me and I could do it every day, it keeps me always in that good mood.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything you do is in vain, if you don't share it with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to go to CS-meetings, where I can meet a lot of different and interesting people from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

You only understand the world by knowing its people. This is by actually live together with them and not staying an outsider being a tourist and go sight-seeing.

It's a good thing to know, that if you are new in a new town, there are always some like-minded people you can spend time with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- surfing in Byron Bay in the sunset, nobody around just calmness, lying on my board, feets hanging in salt-water still being warm, red sky gleeming on the surface of the see ... one absolutely fulfilling moment!
- sitting on the edge in the Kings Canyon, hundrets of meter below my feet dangling and listen to my echo 3 seconds after yelling
- jumping out of a plane just like that
- being pecked by a Tucan on my head in Brazil :P
and a lot more ... (If I took something from the movie "into the wild" it's that life ist about to feel strong)
