About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel in order to feel what remained from antique cultures and to find a place to live!

ABOUT ME

Well, ... I'm 25 years old and currently living in Baden, a small town 15 minutes from Zurich. I moved from Zurich to Baden two years ago, because I didn't feel comfortable any more. Zurich has grown bigger and bigger over past 10 years and I have realized that the whole financial trends coming up there hadn't anything to do with me at all. Still I continued studying there and so I acquired my bachelor diploma in Fine Arts.
I'm in a relationship since nearly 4 years. There were always ups and downs, but we love each other and I wouldn't want anybody else to share my life with. My boyfriend and I are always traveling together either for political, cultural or personal reasons... we use to say that it's never holidays for us, there's always a mission!
I live with my room mate, a woman couple of years younger than me in a 3 room flat 5 minutes from the centre of Baden. We use to always have guests around, and usually play and listen to music as long as we want. On the second floor and in the neighbors house there are friends of us living, so you could say it's a big family.
I love to learn languages and I'm interested in a lot of things I won't list here ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Due to my nationality, I have often been mistreated in Switzerland. I think I know how it is, to not get a chance to talk - so probably, my philosophy in meeting new people, is to take my time and just listen.
Though I'm very talkative too! .... yeah, sometimes I can't even stop talking! XD
No, but sincerely: I have been fighting racism and prejudice since 15 years now and I'm proud of it. There's absolutely no reason why one should be worth less than the other. There is no reason one should get less chances for eduction, friendships, careers and family than the others. And therefor, there is no reason why I should help this system to grow bigger and bigger, no sir!
I want to be an artist, I want to live anarchy in its pure style: cultivating my own vegetables and fruits, having some goats and sheep for milk and wool, painting and having exhibitions and be a mother. That's what I am aiming for.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm now checking with my room mate if she would consider having guests around - I'm pretty optimistic, so give me one or two weeks to get things done ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing two times in Hamburg and had two very charming hosts!
In Berlin I've got hosted from a young, charming actor. It's incredible how much one can trust you, while not knowing you at all!
I want to extend my CS experience. It's a great project and I would like to host people from all over the world!

Interests

I love singing, playing music, dancing - or just beeing outside - painting, drawing, meeting people... but normally I'm rather in a private circle, than in a big discotheque. I mostly get really fast in touch with people. I'm pretty much into theatre :)
And just to say : I love rage faces, I love memes, I llllloooovvvveee them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've found love! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play the piano or the guitar, how to ride a bicycle or words in swiss German, French, Italian or Serbian :D I can teach you to draw and paint, some highlights of antique and modern philosophy and I can teach you to be strong.
I would like to learn not to fear Lunaparks and so on. I can't even jump from 3 meters into the water.
I would like to share the good and bad moments of my life and as much time as possible with others.
