ABOUT ME

I guess I try to live my life to the fullest... I like to feel all emotions, even "silly" ones, very deeply... which is most of the time great. I smile a lot and often without a particular reason :p

I love my family, my friends... basically love people. Love seeing them happy and love being the reason of their happiness even more!!! And hate to be a reason of anybody's hurt. I try to treat others as I would like to be treated.

I am a realist and idealist in one person. I believe in what I think and I am ready to fight for it. But I guess, I'm still openminded. I believe one can learn sth from every person they meet along the way. Selfdevelopment has always been my life's main objective. I am one unexperienced experiences collector ;)

I don't believe in quick visits and mass tourism. Only by staying somewhere for a while and living and working with local people can you really feel the atmosphere of a country. And this means travelling for me. I like sightseeing but understanding and learning from other cultures are more important for me. I attach to places emotionally I visit or live in.

PHILOSOPHY

Never give up on people. If you close yourself, you will miss a lot and won't meet anyone! Maybe 1 person in 50 will potentially become your future close friend and other will use you - but for this one it is WORTH IT! If you don't risk, you don't feel anything... if you don't feel, you are not alive, isn't it?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel, meet people and try to help out CS fellows whenever they need it :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to travel a lot and organise accomodation in different places but since I signed up for Couch Surfing :) it's been so much more. Definitely feel as a part of sth bigger here!!!

I think it´s a GREAT idea - the people are awesome and always interesting ones who share many interests with me. TRAVEL!

Interests

TOP LEVEL... climbing (rock climbing, ice climbing, mixed climbing - well: I just love climbing) AND dancing (tango argentino - just see for yourself why)

Apart from those: windsurfing, sailing, and some other sports like: tramping (including hitch-hiking), trekking... just living!
and sharing it... meeting people and travelling!
