About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoying my new home

ABOUT ME

I like adventure trips including e.g. river rafting, paragliding, I'm not the kind of person who likes to lie on the beach. Nevertheless I don't necessarily need action all the time. :) I enjoy photographing when travelling. I dance salsa since my trips to South America some years ago.... although not really often anymore. I'm a rather silent person, very open-minded and easy-going, I don't like stress. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, have good friends and be a good friend. Learn something new from time to time to be happier! And don't take life too serious all the time! ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I already surfed a couch and hosted some couch surfers as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed a couch once in Edinburgh for three days, that was really cool! And I hosted more than 30 guests till now. It is always interesting to meet people from other countries, to learn about their life and their environment; it's good fun and kind of being on holidays myself!

Interests

Listening to music, dancing salsa (rather seldom now), computer, internet surfing, biking, jogging, photography, nice landscapes, meeting friends, cars, kite surfing...
