CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, meet new people, find my own little paradise...

ABOUT ME

Quit my office job in Jan '11 and went off traveling through Asia for 3 months. Went back home, thought I should figure out what I want to do with my life... Start studying? Start a new job?? But after 3 months I noticed I am not ready for any of this "normal life" yet - so I left again. So back to Asia and Australia last August to travel for a few more months. And finally ended up in Canada where I have now been living in Vancouver for 3 years.

PHILOSOPHY

Speak and Listen. Read and Write. Live and learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far no experience at all. I just heard of it during my travels - friends of mine are CouchSurfing addicts. I'd love to soon also be part of it and get to know interesting & fun people - from all over the world.

Interests

Did my "Open Water" in Malaysia - really enjoyed that :-) Unfortunately back home the German lakes are not the most interesting dive sites, so would love to do a few more dives around Asia / Australia. Other than that I enjoy hiking, swimming, a nice bike ride... My evenings can be either a relaxed movie with microwave popcorn or a night out dancing till dawn.... promising to never touch alcohol the next morning!!!
