About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world: people, nature and moments. Face challenges and grow with them.
Right now I took some time off from work to travel and looking for adventures, be it in cities or even better somewhere in the nature 🌳 🍃

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, being in the nature and use my muscles (the few I have ;), be it through hiking or camping or swimming 🏊
Taking some time off from work for several months to travel for a few times in my life are some of the best decisions I made. There is so much more to explore and people to meet 🙌
In my real live I try to do as much of that as I can, besides working as an UX Designer for a digital agency. (No idea what that is supposed to be? Let me explain, once we meet 😁)

PHILOSOPHY

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Marc Twain

I chose that quote a while ago. It is a bit cheesy, but I still find it is inspiring, since I sometimes hesitate (and overthinking, yes 🙈) before I do the things I am dreaming of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just enjoy getting to know people, I met so many wonderful people I had great times with, I don’t want to ever miss that. Also I think it is a nice way to immerse a bit more into the country.
And if you are up for an adventure, like sleeping outside and do some star gazing, I am all up for it!

Interests

Any kind of outdoor activities (climbing, biking, camping, snowboarding, swimming, snorkeling, apnoe & diving...), and my love, yoga 😇
Digital user experience (due to my work), traveling, other cultures, way of life, languages.
And last but not least: great foooood! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of different music. Current favorites are piano music if I want to think or calm down and Il Civetto if I want to dance 😅 - give it a shot ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

... There were so many, especially while traveling. The most recent was me sleeping in a tent alone in the woods, seeing sooo many stars and even the milky way ✨

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy a good conversation and love doing little adventures I am happy to take you ;)

Other than that: I can do a lot of things!
- Like sewing, playing the guitar, cooking (mostly healthy 😁), lettering (which is a nice way to write like calligraphy) and drawing
- climbing and yoga…
- I love plants so caring for them is something I usually don’t mess with ^^
- (User Experience for Websites and Apps of course too, but I try to stay away from that outside of work if possible 🙈)

So if you are interested in any of that, I am happy to share!
