CURRENT MISSION

Trying not to go crazy with a life so short and so many things to do!

ABOUT ME

I spent an exchange year in Paraguay in 2003 and since then my life has changed to a routine of work and save money - travel - work - travel...and so on. Once you are in it, it's difficult to get out!

PHILOSOPHY

The world is open to you, it's all in your hands!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In 2009 I travelled Brazil for several weeks with couchsurfing. It was awesome and I hope to get the opportunity to give some of these good experiences back now by hosting people or showing them my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only great experiences!! Couchsurfing is a real cool way to get insights into another country and its culture and to meet amazing, open-minded people!

Interests

I like to read books, watch good films (see below), to cook with friends, to dance and to party, a bit of sports, all the small things that make life life and not just surviving.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have experienced so many times unconditional hospitality, that was really impressing. One example: It's 23:30, I am alone at Sao Paulo Central Bus Station, just missed my bus to Paraguay, no idea where i could go, as I know nobody in Sao Paulo and there are no more buses back to Campinas. Then: "I know that face!" It's a friend of a friend that I met once for about 5 minutes. He is going to travel, but he calls his sister, she picks me up and I sleep at their house. the next day she brings me to the bus station and even convinces the bus-man to change my bus-ticket for the next day (even though it was my fault to arrive late)!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am convinced that everybody has lessons to give and that with every encounter you learn new things: new information, new thoughts and new perspectives on life.
