About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
in search of something we haven't tried before

ABOUT ME:
For mine is a generation that circles the globe in search of something we haven't tried before. So never refuse an invitationn, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite, and never outstay your welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience, and if it hurts you know what...
it's probably worth it.
(the beach Orbital)

PHILOSOPHY:
everything you do comes back to you. The way you treat people, they treat you back.
Life is to be lived as intensive as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING:
i´m studying my master of "society and industry communication" in Berlin, and i´ll be enjoying an erasmus semestre in grenoble from september 2015 till january 2016.
I love getting to know more french culture and french people, despite university or sports, so i hope to find nice people on couchsurfing. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE:
I made good couchsurfing experience in australia. Sadly i´ve done one very bad experience with couch surfing on Fiji islands - which you can read in the references.
I´m still gratefull to my australian hosts, and still in touch with them. Some of them are still enlighting my life. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I want to tell the story of my first days in australia:
As i stepped out of the airport in sydney (happy that i could arrive without any problems), i went to the bank account to get my first australian dollar. As i put out my wallet, the fact hit my head like a slatch-hammer: I have forgotten my credit carts in Germany.
Meant, i had no fucking money. I had already reserved a hotel for the first two days, but what do i eat? and where the hell do i sleep afterwards?
While i've benn standing in the waiting line to the bank account i talked to a punkcouple. As the noticed that i'm without money now, they offered me to come to their house. I did so, wrote an e-mail back to germany: "mam, can you please go into my room, take the creditcarts and send them to australia?!"
So i had to wait in Sydney till my creditcards arrive. While waiting i've found a job in a restaurant in the harbour of sydney and become great friends with the guys in the house here. so everything went fucking awesome and i stayed instaed of two days now seven weeks in Sydney.
