CURRENT MISSION

smile - it confuses people :)

ABOUT ME

well, i guess i'm a rather happy person. sometimes a little chaotic but at the same time reliable -so my friends say :) i can have a real laugh with almost anybody, and love bouncing and skipping round, talking to people. at the same time i love peaceful moments - i think a good mixture of peace and excitement and awareness makes a good life.

PHILOSOPHY

I let time fly into the arms of freedom. never let your happiness depend on something you may lose. leave your comfort zone once in a while, nothing new can grow there. a mind that has been streched will never return to it's original dimensions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Spent the summer of 2013 surfing in Spain a lot - Valencia and Alicante were both unforgettable and enriching couchsurfing-experiences. I also surfed in Athens a few years ago - what a great experience! also, friends of mine in vienna hostet a couple of times and i sometimes met up with them - we had a great time!
finally since this year i could also host some surfers - it was great and I can't wait for the next one to come :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

on my trip through the balkans i finally surfed my first couch, and it was sooo cool! also i met up with locals who told me stories and explained the mentality of young albanian people to me.

I have hosted surfers as well and I love showing them around, participating in an intercultural exchange. i met many surfers through my friends when they hosted people - and found a really nice friend that way :)

Interests

music music music (listening and making music)- it connects, it supports, it saves, it's happy, motivating, sad, angry - it's everything you want it to be!
i enjoy music-festivals and live music in general. There is nothing like a good open-air concert (even if it rains) ;)

I love reading and writing, a good cup of tea on a rainy day, but could never dispense a good party.

Food is one of my pleasures and currently i discovered that i enjoy baking ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

everybody sees the world differntly depending on the people they have met and their surroundings. this all shapes you. Having a good conversation with newly met people can be so eye-opening and give you perspectives you have not thought about yet!
