Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm not the missionary type ;P But making the world a more enjoyable and kinder place is always a thing to keep in mind.
ABOUT ME
I'm studying at the Technical University in Darmstadt to become a Mechanical Engineer and like to do sports, especially dancing - every dancing style is welcome, my favorite is salsa. Because of a knee problem, I'm unfortunately forced to dose my dancing right now and arrange my traveling plans accordingly, but it didn't stop me to travel a lot anyway. As you see on my picture, I sometimes wear knee bandages for long journeys. I changed my sport program to swimming to keep myself fit, and usually hike mountains with crutches. You don't believe how many surprised looks and encouragements you meet from strangers that way ;)
PHILOSOPHY
I think we all should try to have a positive impact on each other, because then world is a more enjoyable place. So I try to stick to this in my daily life, in small gestures or bigger ones. Because a simple smile for a stranger in the underground station can brighten up his day! Generally, I like to help and to spend a great time with people, explorer the world and it's miracles.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love sharing my experience and consult people if they need to know anything for further travel plans or whatever is on their mind. If I am free, I'm happy to hang out and have a nice time as well.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started surfing with a friend of mine who organized these stays and visited some people who kindly showed me around in their home towns. Later, I organized some surfs by myself and loved every single experience I did with couchsurfing!
Interests
I love to dance, swim and travel and shoot pictures of awesome places and special moments! Also, I like to read compelling and inspiring books.
