About Me

I am 29 years old and teach Art and English at a local High School.

I would describe myself as very outgoing and curious, I can enjoy life a lot but also get very sad about the way things go miserably wrong all around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

You could compare life to a blank book, now you have to fill in the pages by yourself. and I want my story to be good!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven´t used couchsurfing for some time now, because I was confused about the new website. But I ll give it another chance now, because I have met many incredible people via this network while I was living in New Zealand, Australia and Peru.

I am here to get in touch with locals all over the world. Not only for acutal couchsurfing, but also to use it to get to know the local people of a place. There is no better expert for a city :)

I personally enjoy showing people around in my hometown too. Unfortunately it is not very popular with travelers :(

I started couchsurfing in NZ about 7 years ago...and have been enjoying splendid hospitality all around the world since then. It is one of the best things made possible via the internet.

Interests

I love art, music, tea and chocolate + a good book or movie, going out, having fun and dancing through the night, finding places and people that feel like home all over the world
