CURRENT MISSION

Travel to Turkey and try speaking Turkish and meeting people there!

ABOUT ME

I like languages, and I like getting to know a country, its citizens, its culture, its nature through learning its language. Im not so much of a Party/Disco-fan, but I do enjoy good company. I like cooking and trying new food (but Im a vegetarian, thats about the only restriction I make on food). I dont like dogs so much, but as long as it doesnt bark too much at me and I can close the door, I can cope. I think some of my friends would describe me as thoughtful. I like philosophy, but then again, I feel that thinking alone often times is not sufficiant.

PHILOSOPHY

beware of forming quick opinions

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Do the best to have a good experience with the people I surfed with and once I settle down be able to host someone.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

few but great and surprising experiences! Went on a trip with a very good friend through half of South America and we surfed the whole time. Met only wonderful people!

Interests

I like to play the piano, especially Jazz (at least I try to), love languages, reading good books, listen to music (you guessed it, Jazz), gymnastics/acrobatics, some juggling, running... I like math but unfortunately Im not studying it because I didnt want to become a mathematician...every now and then I try to read something about it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Many and few... I cant make a list of them! But there is one that just came to my mind: Once I hiked with friends around a vulcano in Chile and we lost the trail markings. For several hours we continued through plain nature without much orientation. Just as we started to consider spending the night (luckily we had the tent with us) we found a wooden railing leading back to the trail. Given this ending it was an amazing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach juggling and to spin a pen around your thumb. I like to talk about language, sometimes philosophy and almost any deep conversation. At the moment Id like to learn Turkish. And Id enjoy sharing music.
