About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding out what to do after University...

ABOUT ME

I am rather quiet and balanced. I rarely go out (in clubs and bars), however, I like to meet people and I hang out a lot at the students church.
Faith matters a lot to me, I find it essential for my life journey. I am a christian. However, since faith in God means freedom I cannot tell anybody to believe this or that. I can show through my way of life the treasures I've found in that and I am glad when I can share'em with anybody.
Furthermore, I like learning foreign languages. Right now I'm busy with Spanish and then probably comes Russian (one at a time!). But I'll see.
Concerning my "mission", I am reading papers and magazines, doing internships and visiting courses off subject, talk with people a lot. But so far, I have not come across something to fully be content with. Maybe one could call me a bit a perfectionalist...

PHILOSOPHY

try to listen first and to discover whats behind the scenes

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Latin music (for instance Buena Vista Social Club) but also calm music like Café del Mar or Schiller, and christian music! Most of the time I pay attention to what a song says...
unfortunately a rarely read books, nor do I often go to the movies... on film I really liked was "Finding Forester" with Sean Connery

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I travelled with a group from my student church to Russia to visit a family who takes in kids from other parents (sent to them buy local authorities). What a journey!
