CURRENT MISSION

My mission at the moment is just to enjoy life... the way I do this is by traveling and when I am at home, meeting new people!

ABOUT ME

I am 30 years old and love good times with friends, meeting new people, sunshine and great coffee. I think there is nothing better than a good laugh and from the traveling I have done in the past I have realized one thing: it's not where you are in the world that matters, it's who you are with. I like surrounding myself with positive people because I am a positive person! I am a bit of a fatalist... I believe that everything happens for a reason and that everything is ok in the end. If it's not ok, then it's not the end.

PHILOSOPHY

That love is all there is, is all we know of love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Want to participate in every way I can... first heard about couchsurfing last year while I was traveling in Australia and although I only did it once, I loved it and love the whole idea of it. I love meeting new people and having new adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Regarding my first couchsurfing experience, I must say it was a wicked! I stayed with Paul for ten days in Australia, and probably wouldn't be here today if it weren't for him! Also have met tons of people just throught group postings or arranging with people passing through town for a coffee or drink. Otherwise I have hosted a couple of times in Frankfurt, and now together with my boyfriend we finally have a big enough place to host in Michelstadt!
