About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life to the full and enjoy every single second

ABOUT ME

I have been living out of a backpack for the last 14 years or so, travelling, learning and building an international family from all around the globe.

I like to share my energy and love by volunteering in developing countries and often do exchange work (work for accommodation and food) to stretch my budget.

My greatest love is meeting and sharing with community minded people from different backgrounds, countries and creeds. My other greatest loves - travelling and long distance hiking, allow me to do this with ease.

Creative inspiration comes mostly from working with dreadlox & natural fibres - felt, crotchet & macrame.... and then there is food... I love to cook with & for others, experiment and consume colourful combinations and creations using local ingredients where possible, versatile vegetables and infinite possibilities rock my world. I am not vegetarian.

PHILOSOPHY

LIVE LIFE!!

It´s good to have an end to journey towards, but it´s the journey that matters in the end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly only on the social side as I prefer the flexibility, independance and social aspect of hostel life. But I also love to meet local people or ex-pats and experience the culture first hand.

Couchsurfing offers many great opportuntites to blend both of these loves.

Interests

Hiking, cooking and sharing, organising group activities esp. involving food, community and organic lifestyle, rural development projects.

long distance hiking.
