ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

I aspire every day to …
…be honest and genuine.
…think positive, because I know how powerful thoughts are.
…do only things I love or to do things I'm obliged to do with love.
…be grateful for my life, the people I meet, the food I eat.
…reduce my ecological footprint.
…be aware of the moment in stead of living in the past or future.

… not condemn myself if I don't achieve my resolutions! :-)

Aus meiner tiefsten Seele zieht
Mit Nasenflügelbeben
Ein ungeheurer Appetit
Nach Frühstück und nach Leben.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling but I can't stand hostel-hopping. And It's so much better to get the "local view" of a city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now I had great experiences with cs

Interests

Traveling and staying at home.
Enjoying music and the silence of nature.
Taking pictures and enjoying the view without taking pictures.
Playing accordion and singing.
Dancing with or without my Hula Hoop.
Sitting next to the stove while cold wind is blowing outside and going for a walk in autumn, when the wind whisper in the colored treetops.
Writing letters and getting answers.
Breakfast with a good coffee.
Swimming in cold lakes and the weaves of the ocean.
Building with recycled wood or fixing my bicycle.
Binding my "carnets de voyages"
Cultivate vegetables and eating them!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled alone through east Africa and went to Uganda to see Gorillas. It was the most tiring thing I've ever done, but it was fantastic!

Riding by bike through norway, with a good friend, a tent and provisions only out of the container.

I visited the Acores and saw a lot of sea mammals!
