ABOUT ME

I am communicative, open minded and not afraid of challenges. I like to be spontanious, although in some things I prefer to have a plan.
When I travel, I always go to places where I have never being before.
Each time when I travel, I get to know myself better.

Currently, I live in Frankfurt with my boyfriend and a cat named Gibson.
I enjoy to be among people and to spend time with friends: having a nice chat or going out. Being a good listener, I am also a reliable friend.

My passion for travel is giving me a chance to get to know people from all over the world. As a positive and motivated person, I easily get into a conversation with others.

PHILOSOPHY

To enjoy life and do not make it boring and stereotype, make some changes or improvements (even some small ones) as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Continue to travel around the world and getting to know more Couchsurfers :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in Istanbul several years ago. I found it so amazing that shortly after I arranged my trip to Sri Lanka where I got to know other great couchsurfers and had one of the best New Year celebrations in my life.
In my current and future plans is definitely to continue inspire other people to be CS members and to experience travelling from a completely different perspective.

Interests

On the first place for me is travelling and getting to know people from different countries :D
I am an active person and I do love and enjoy several sport activities such as fitness, yoga, jogging, cycling or swimming. With some good friends it's always fun to go to play billiard, bowling or simply to go to the cinema for one of the latest movies.
When there is a free moment, I'm keen to learn languages. Also when I'm in anther country, I am used to pick up at least daily greetings ;)
During the dry and sunny weather, I like to organise a barbecue or a picnic.
On a weekend, it's great to have a short trip somewhere in Europe or just to go hiking in the near area. I like to watch documentaries, read books and attend seminars.

Music, Movies, and Books

Depending on the mood, I enjoy to watch different movie genres, starting from comedies, animation and continuing with action, adventure and thrillers.
If I don't have to watch alone it can also be a horror movie ;)

As for music, I would highlight Deep House or House, Lounge or Chillout and Club Musik.
One of my favorite books is a Hector's Travels. It's hard to highlight others, as I do see in every book something that I discover and learn for myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the amazing things I've done is my greatest couch surfing experiences as a solo traveller in Sri Lanka in 2012. Other unforgettable experience is my travel in Mexico.
And I believe other amazing and exciting things are still ahead of me :)
