ABOUT ME

I am 27 years old and worked as an IT consultant the last 3 years. I quit my job to do a masters in Singapore, starting in January 2020.
I love trying out new sports, recently I joined a box class and starting soon to learn kite boarding and golfing ( I know it is quite a mix).
I worked as a nanny in St. Moritz Switzerland in a ski Resort, as I really love the Mountains. I also worked as a snowboard instructor.

I have a big passion about food, either just eating but I also love cooking. From every country I travel I try to bring home something to eat or drink which I can share with everyone at home.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't wait until something good happens to you, start to make something good happen. I love to be involved in social events and being part of something which is maybe not changing the world but starting to make it a better place..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love to meet people and to learn about their life story. Two summers ago I had my first experience with couch surfing and I had an amazing time with wonderful people.

Since I was in South Korea I know, that if you want to get to know a country not only as a tourist you have to get into touch with the people who live there.
And that's want I want to do during all journeys . I am really interested in meeting you and hearing about your live story.

Interests

I am a food lover, that's why I love to go and try good restaurants and get inspired by different ways of food and then try to cook at home. I love to host people at my place for a good wine and cheese (..Oh yes.,.. I love cheese)... but If you love to eat then you need to do sports and I like hiking an being in the nature a lot. It gives me the feeling of coming back to the roots and calming down.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like listening to freakonomics (its a podcast about interesting topics as "why are we waiting in line for something so long") and I am trying to find good books / if you have a suggestion let me know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-To do snowboarding in the night without electric lights - it is so amazing to see all the lights from so high and to see the stars !
- Taking a night train from Seoul to Busan and see the sunrise
- Staying overnight in a (korean) Spa in Busan
