CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a classy person who is pretty easy going and easy to talk with. Most of my time is spent studying or working at my job as a hotel front desk clerk. Love talking about philosophy, literature, movies and other pieces of existence with other people over a good cup of coffee and some kuchen! Political ideology is open, but left leaning in most cases.

PHILOSOPHY

The fact that we cry when we are both sad and happy tells us that both emotions are entwined in each others arms. In a dance to which neither partner can walk away nor want to continue dancing. As regards feelings and thoughts, I have many of each.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to meet new people when my schedule allows and helping to make travelling more affordable, especially now that gas is so expensive now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Went backpacking through Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland and Poland! My legs are tired now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have seen so far is the vast majesty of Schwarzwald (Black Forest) in the southwestern part of Germany. In Freiburg, there were paths that seemed to lead in infinite and opposite directions, covered with as many trees as there was dirt. And when you climbed up to the top of the observation tower the world looked so peaceful, calm and perfect. All a person could do is sigh.

Teach, Learn, Share

The hardest thing to learn is how to accept failure at one's ability to do anything they set their mind to.
