About Me

CURRENT MISSION

trying to find the right moment and the right place for the right thing to do

ABOUT ME

I’m one of those people who is in with every fun or curious suggestion you have :)

PHILOSOPHY

my goal, and for this, even my way in life, is to collect as many memories and experiences as possible - as interesting, different or similar, new or already seen, as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted some people from CS when I still had a couch, and I thought it was great fun! Alas, I do not have a couch large enough for sleeping anymore, so I cannot host surfers :(
I also love hangouts!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Staying with locals just gives you so much more inside into a place, and culture, and you mostly meet great people! That’s why I like to have a balance between Couchsurfing und hostels :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

worked with kids and a good part of the local community in a poor brazilian city - they had so much to give without even knowing about it! I only hope I left as much as I took!
