ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Germany.
Moved from Europe to the US West Coast 9 years ago and I now live & play most of the year on Maui, Hawaii. After a hectic life in the fast lane it seems now to be my time to slow down to smell the roses. So much to explore in Hawaii. I am trying to "be here now", one moment at a time...breathing in, breathing out.

PHILOSOPHY

We create our own reality. It's fun to hear and see other's reality.
Don't believe everything you think, you are more than your thoughts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Tour Guide & Host
Friends who visit me on Maui say I make a good tour guide. However, I am leaving Maui for a 5 months trip July 25 so I look forward to meeting surfers in Europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just got started through a friend and enjoyed meeting cool CSurfers at a local potluck/birthday bash here in Kihei, Maui.
I enjoy organizing hikes, camping and ocean activities.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recent books I liked: Fight Club, The Perfume, Naked, Choke, and yes, Mitchener's "Hawaii"
I came late to the "New Soul" party and I hate to admit, I still love listening to Amy Winehouse
Recent movies: "The Fall", "Spun"
It seems I go for independent authors and dark humor because I am not into Hollywood happy endings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
