About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding out what dreams I would like to realize, what kind of life is suitable for me and finding the next step to go my way into that direction

ABOUT ME

I love travelling and I love it for all these encounters with the unknown and unexpected. I love it for the people I met. I love it for the beauty of the planet I got to see and touch. I adore the sun and I like to play music and spend time outside in nature.

PHILOSOPHY

to open my eyes and see what life is like, to open my ears and hear consciously all the sounds surrounding me, to open my nose and smell the air that the wind brings to me, to open my heart in this very moment and live it with love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had wonderful guests and wonderful hosts in my CS experience. Each of them left a special memory and I would not like to miss out on these precious encounters that have enrichened my life. They inspired me with their life philosophies and with the thoughts they shared with me, with the time we spent together and the piece of life we enjoyed.

But also before having been a member of CS I have been accommodated in many countries by lovely people and had foreign guests visiting me as well. you find that there are so many wonderful and honest people in the world, no matter what the papers are trying to tell us...!
one lovely experience was in South Africa, when I had a hair braiding and all of a sudden felt panic over maybe not ever getting it off my hair again. So I just went to any house in a township (one of the things people tell you not to do, cause of being allegedly or really dangerous) and asked people for help. They were overwhelmingly friendly and accommodated me for several days working diligently over my hair. They said I came like an angel cause they had no money. So I could buy food for them and it was like being a family member... wonderful experience!!!
