Overview
About Me
Hi there,
about me... that is always the difficult part.. oh my,.., well I am a German engineer, but I left that behind because I hate sitting in front of a computer all day long. I fell in love with learning piano playing, but unfortunately I can`t take it with me. I also play a little guitar (the chords).
While I lived in the UK I made a Reflexology course (massaging the feet more or less) and come to enjoy helping others to deeply relax and make them happy.
Now, as I kind of don`t really know where I belong, I started to travel to figure it out.. (that will be a long travel..)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am traveling with "helpx" similar to "workaway" but there aren`t enough places to go or the people just want a slave (which I am very confident I am not!). I love to help others and don`t expect anything for free, but I don`t want to work 40 hrs a week just for a bed either.
Anyway ... traveling for me is getting closer to the people living there and be a part of the "real deal". I hate all kind of inclusive hotels - that`s not my live style.
So basically I hope to fill the time and places I want to see in between "helpx"-opportunities to really get to know you and your live and your town the way you see it.
Well - and find my own "place in the world" while traveling..
Music, Movies, and Books
I love all kind of music, the only music I can`t really listen to is techno. I am not really fond of flamenco either but maybe that`s because I don`t understand it yet..
Movies.. I love fantasy, science fiction, action,
I don`t mind love, sad, or whatever, but I most certainly can`t watch horror or any kind of "bad for sleeping"-movies.
Books: I read a lot and almost everything, but I prefer fantasy and science fiction. I`ve red Game of Thrones (all of them) in 9 weeks.. (working 40 hrs a week..) I did`t get much sleep or whatever else that time but just could`t stop reading..
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I don`t know.. What the h*ll is expected here..
I`ve done cliff jumping.. is that the kind of thing to write here?
What I am proud of: starting to learn piano with 31 even so everyone was telling me not to, quitting my job and leaving my country even so everyone was telling me that was the worst idea ever, learning reflexology with 33 even so everyone told me it is a waste of time and money..
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach: German, English, a little guitar, a little piano, all science stuff (physics, mathematics, chemistry, ..)
I would love to learn: Spanish mostly, improve Yoga, healthy cooking
I am not sure what is meant with sharing.. I only have my backpack with me with my most necessary stuff like clothing (I don`t really want to share my underwear :) .. )
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can teach the above, do Reflexology on you, or maybe we can do music together ..
I can offer you my time and help in your home and share all my experiences/memories/knowledge with you
