I am a typical member of the Y generation, trying to figure out what I want from life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS seems to be the best way to meet locals and learn about different cultures. I am a lifelong learner.

Interests

Languages (German is my favourite I dont care what others think), travelling, being outdoors, good films, documentaries, voleyball, walking anywhere everywhere, trekking, hiking, cycling, bouldering, snowboard, yoga, nature all the way (just leave me in the woods), piano, violin, dancing, psychology

Here are my two favourite quotes that I think say a lot about me:

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving."

"Life is short, Break the Rules.
Forgive quickly, Kiss SLOWLY.
Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret ANYTHING
That makes you smile."
