About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making the best of every single day

ABOUT ME

I keep on changing. At least I try.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is living. I'm not on earth to work till I'll drop down dead, so I try to enjoy life as much as possible. But I'm though not an hedonistic person, I rather see my responsibility for the earth and the people and so I keep on fighting for a better world for everybody. Small changes are better than nothing. Nobody can change the world alone, but together we could at least try it, I believe in that change. That's what keeps me going on. I think the aim is to keep your life in balance. Don't overload yourself but also do not subchallenge yourself either. Keep changing, moving, experimenting. Try new things. But stand to your person, to your goals and your philosophy. Don't loose yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had only good experiences with couchsurfing and made quite some friends :) I have also made quite some other / private couchsurfing experience when I stayed at (unknown) friends of friends if I didn't know people in a city I was or let friends of friends be my guests.
When I was in school I took part in four student exchanges and stayed at other families for some weeks.
These occasions were always very joyful, relaxed and I loved to see what it's really like living in another country.
As well I have often hosted people of political organizations I am a member. That was also great fun!
I always really enjoyed showing people "my" Berlin :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Our earth. I have seen so many beautiful spots on this planet, our earth is amazing. Nature and sometimes (!!!) even people have created so beautiful things such as oceans, beaches and waves; mountains, rocks and hills; deserts; plants. Even in boring, normal landscapes like in Germany I have seen so many nice and amazing things. I just keep my eyes open. I like to take pictures, to look at them afterwards and remember myself to the gorgeousness in winter or in bad moods. Always when I come back from an amazing trip to a beautiful place I'm inspired and motivated to go on and try to protect the environment on the whole planet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Yoga (helped me so much) m always open to learn new stuff.
