CURRENT MISSION: Rocking my job!

Laid back, open minded, fun, always ready for a spontaneous adventure as long as it doesn't interfere with my job... But better see that for yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Done some Couchsurfing in Australia, Japan and Sweden so far. Met a bunch of new people and hope that I will meet some of them again in my life. I hope to continue on that road; there are a lot of people out there who have to be met!

Interests

Music: my love! Always searching for a new LP and a new band. Concerts and festivals are a must-go, however being a student means very little money...

Traveling: First travel experience at the age of 3 months in South Africa and Namibia. Thanks to my parents! I'm still traveling around and try to meet new people. But now without my parents!

Friends: Doing spontaneous things with my friends is one of the best things ever. However, sometimes or let's say most of the time the result was a mess in our apartment! Nowadays this does not happen that often anymore, since I moved out and try to be mature and work blablabla...

Camping: Not often, but sometimes this is a great opportunity to leave the whole stress behind. Camping at the festival or camping at a lake near my hometown with friends are the most common trips, but sometimes I walk into the wild for one week with my whole home on the back. It is really relaxing.

Working: I actually do love my job!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Black Hawk Down, Bourne, Children Of Men, Thank You For Smoking, 21 Grams, Amores Perros, Garden State, Old Boy, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Cruel Intensions, Kill Bill, Lord Of War, Lost In Translation and as the best movie ever, Babel!

Music: As a music addict, I listen to the kind of music called "Indie". That means bands like Arcade Fire, Interpol, Maximo Park, The Strokes... But Coldplay is also one of my favourites! Who is interested in every detail here, visit: http://www.last.fm/user/menako

Books: I love novels. Unfortunately the university is stealing my time and when I read it is a science book. I just finished "The Book Thief" a couple of weeks ago. I can really recommend it...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen many amzing things on my different trips and it would be too much to remember them all. However, walking the Overland Track in Tasmania was really a highlight. Walking into the wild with a big backpack and no civilization for a week was really incredible awesome!!! See the astonishing landscape, drink water from lakes and rivers and just enjoy the silence...
