About Me

ABOUT ME

I love travelling around, and seeing new things. I can´t stay at home for a long time, even sum weeks seem to long for me. I love having people around me, that´s why I am almost never alone. But on the other hand I enjoy a lot to be by my own, especially when I am in the nature. In the last two years I have been mostly in Chile, but now I am back to the roots in Munich. Working there...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
untill now I didn´t do a lot of Couchsurfing. My only real couchsurfing experience has been like 9 years ago, when I joined a friend doing couch surfin in dubai. It was the first time I got to know couchsurfers and it was a lot of fun. I was amazed about the friendlyness and how warmly ppl received me there...
Lately I just got to know people who are doing couchsurfing by travelling, and it was always a great experience. Mostly people with the same thinking of life and with a lot of passion for travelling.

Interests

I love having people around me, that´s why I am almost never alone. I love music, I do it also a little bit by myself, but never practiced enough to join a jamsession or sth. else. In my time of i go climbing, together with my boyfriend (who is really crazy about it). In moments less sportif I like to hang out with some friends, having a beer ..and play tablesoccer ( best combination :D )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moments that left me awestruck... hmm.. I really enjoyed my last Holi in Delhi. We caught up with sum friends who had worked in poor area over there. With their indian friends we celebrated holi, throwing colours again and again in the air, fighting wid waterpistols and dancing to the rythm of the drum. Children came out of their smal houses and joined us, so that we became i nice crowed, which was singing, dancing and laughing a lot. ... an awesum day, and definitly the days worth it took me to get rid of all that colours sticking on my skin :)

Other fascinating experience was the sunrise when I went up the last part to the Thorung La... White snowfields everywhere and the red glowing mountains around me... and on the top the biggest chaipot i had ever seen!!
Although i loved my travelling experiences in Chile... its a lot of beautyfull landscape over there... my favorite places are the "Valle de los condores", el trekking por el Torres del Paine but although the wild and beautyfull landscape of the carretera Austral...

Teach, Learn, Share

When I am travelling I always love to meet people from the place I am travelli g to. It's always interesting to learn and get to know about their life and the places they like going to.
Also I would be really happy to find someone who likes to share some hiking or climbing trips!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I guess there are a lot of interesting travelling stories we can share. Also I can make a nice german applecake with crumbles on top ( my favorite and the only one I know baking). Also I like to cook ( I am vegetarian) so I would be happy giving something back by making a nice dish.
