About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel the world

ABOUT ME

i'm an open minded, calm young german, I love to travel, I'm eager to learn new languages and to get to know other countries and cultures.

I'm interested in environmental topics, I love cooking (but only vegan food :-)) yoga, and being in the nature (or if there s no nature close by I can walk for hours through empty streets or city parks or just sitting on a park bench and reading a book)

I do enjoy sitting in a bus or train for hours (or days) to get from one place to another while watching the landscape passing by and letting my thoughts dream away...

I'm volunteering for a local group of amnesty international (human rights education group).

And I love all kinds of outdoor sports like trekking, climbing, canyoning, kayaing..... and mountains!

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you want to see in the world (Ghandi)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i love that idea of sharing ones couch with other people. while traveling you can discover a country much more intensive if you can meet local people. and if you don t have the time or money to travel, you can still meet people (from other countries or your own) at your home!
