Explore, learn, live!
ABOUT ME
I am a smiler. I love being silly, dancing, cooking and exploring. I don't like museums, but I can appreciate beautiful things (just not a million in a row where I can't truly take them in). I love to sing. I believe that we should all aspire to find a way to contribute to the world that is not only helpful, but also fun and enjoyable for us. Work shouldn't be work, it should be passion! I would rather really get to know a place than hop around from city to city, but sometimes time and money won't allow long leisurely stays... That's what the next life is for I guess.
PHILOSOPHY
We learn more in silence than we do in speaking. We only get one earth and one body so we should take care of both of them as best we can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am always happy to host people when I'm settled in one place and I think surfing with people is the best way to really get to know a city.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted a few people and have surfed with several amazing people in Germany, Italy, Spain and France. I have also met my husband (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/evdiggler) through CS, so I am pretty indebted to this incredible organization!
