About Me

CURRENT MISSION

no tenga miedo - rompa frontieras !

ABOUT ME

How can I tell all about me. Everybody knows who he/she is, but who knows himself entirely?

Anyway, I am 38 years old, by profesion social worker, by passion traveller through life. Travelling a lot in all the years I think to have found out and am cofirmed in my suspicion, that you don´t have to travel far. The point is, everytime I set out to travel far I ended up in travelling profound.
Not Kilometers, Countries and Continents are important but meeting people.
Connect.

I like reading, being outside, working with wool, felting, spinning, sailing, motorbikes and bikes, horses, cooking (but much more eating what someone cooked)...but after a lot of time living outside also near winter I also like to be inside. I am widely interested so just come and meet and well see how we get along.

At the moment I am working as a german teacher in little sleepy Frutillar Bajo. I have to work from Monday to Friday and almost everyday from morning to evening. So I dont have a lot of time to show you round, but you are welcome to plan your tours from here, or simply have a nice and quiet time exploring Frutillar and roudabout, have walks at Lago Llanquihue and admire the great panorama con los 3 Volcanoes....

PHILOSOPHY

el camino del corazon...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being there, curious and open to meet, help and be helped

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling by horse for 6 months I had wonderful couches - without the existence of couchsurfing. It was back in ´92....
Everywhere I went travelling in my life I had wonderful couches - with and without couchsurfing
What is a bit sad in couchsurfing is that people quite often do not respond to requests. I tend to send out only one request and wait for the answer before i send out other requests to the same place. I do so to avoid to alert people whom in the end i don't visit. Therefore I wish I would get more and quicker replies. ... - please try to answer requests, also if it is a no !
