About Me

CURRENT MISSION

small family travelling eastgermany in our bus

ABOUT ME

I live with my Partner Chris and our two daughters on a farm -not ours we just rent a flat and feed the chicken when we have leftovers. Right now I'm at home with the smaller one. I Like climbing trees. I wanna say I've lived in New Zealand. I Work as a social worker in a school. I'm a typ 1 diabetic and support children and there families in coping with diabetes. I like being outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a moral-based vegetarian. I don't want anyone (including) animals to be killed because of me but I also think that's just my point of view and I don't mind everybody else thinking differently.
I like and enjoy life and try to respect other lifes and other ways of living.
I love the sentence "Be the change you wanna see in the world" though I don't think I'm ready yet to always follow what I think is the right way -trying to get there...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is a whole different way of travelling, because you not only see the sights of a country but you learn about the way people think and live. You meet the people and they really are the country. I'd like to go surfing round the world and show people from all over the world my view of Ravensburg and its surroundings-and also my thoughts about the world... :-)
