CURRENT MISSION

Quero andar o caminho enteiro que Deus escolheu para mim.

ABOUT ME

Maybe I am a typical German, but I have seen many countries to become more international and now I am living in beautiful San Diego.
I'm realible and punctual and sometimes even funny. I tried many things in my life but at the moment I'm only doing physics and some management and business for living. I am trying to travel as much as possible besides.

PHILOSOPHY

O Senhor é meu pastor, nada me faltará.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my travels I met a lot of interesting and amazing people, and I would like to give a tiny little bit of that back to other travelers who need help, a host, or just somebody to chat or to be shown around in town.
I love to share my travel (and life) experiences - however, don't be afraid I don't talk a lot.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I traveled some very interesting places in the world where not a lot of people go. I would love to share those information and experiences with other travelers, because traveling to other countries will open everybody's horizon a little further and produce more tolerance in the world.
As a female solo traveler I also want to encourage other girls / women to set off and explore the world on their own as I believe that this is character forming!
