ABOUT ME

They call me Rainbow, I'm a funny, friendly and very social person. I like meeting new people from all over the world. I like to travel around, be myself, express myself.
I do "weird-shit" like juggling, slacklining, fire dancing, Nerf modding, playing music, teaching hugging workshops and lots more :)
I have recently started a new band project as well, 'Flirting with Disaster', which is a lot of fun.
I also teach juggling, making music and crafting things (bracelets, anklets, necklaces and more). I run the local circus meetings every Sunday.
I'd like to change the world someday, but don't know how I'm gonna do that ;)! (I got a slight idea atm)
I believe in love and that true love is the only key to unlimited happiness. The problem is just to find it!
I used to work in cafes, hotels, bars, shops, as a snowboard instructor in the Swiss alps, as an event coordinator in Australia, as a volleyball coach, climbing instructor and archery trainer in Germany and as a street performer all over the world. Thanks to my dad and my friends I have a lot of skills which come in handy in everyday life!
Over the last six years I have also been teaching hugging workshops all around the globe, so if you want to improve on your hugging skills, or are curious what one does in a hugging workshop, let me know.
I still live in Southern Germany without any real plan on what's coming next, but I don't make plans any more, 'cause if you don't plan anything, nothin can go wrong :).

PHILOSOPHY

"We don't stop playing because we grow up, we grow up because we stop playing!"

"The only thing that really matters in life is, that at the end of a day, a week, a month, a year or a lifetime you can face a mirror and look at yourself smiling, happy without regrets. As long as that is a given it doesn't matter what you do with your time! Never let anybody tell you something different!" - myself

"I'm not part of this world to be what other people want/tell me to be! But if you want to be part of my life or suggest some changes, you're always more then welcome o ask kindly! :)" - myself

"The only thing we have to decide, is what to do with the time given to us!" - G.S.

"Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth" - H.D.T.

"A man makes his own way - nobody gives it to you, you have to take it!" - J.N. aka F.C.

"True love is your soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another." - J.B. (Wedding Crushers)

"Love is there. If you want it to be. You just have to see that it's wrapped in beauty and hidden away between the seconds of your life. If you don't stop for a minute, you might miss it." - B.W.(Cashback)

"Life is better when you are happy, but life is best when other people are happy because of you! Be an inspiration, give peace and share your smile!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host whenever I can. I've been hosting a lot during my time in Queenstown, New Zealand and in Gosford, Australia.
I also use CS a lot when I'm traveling 'cause I think it's the best way to meet interesting people.
Even if I can't host myself I'll try to find you a place so feel free to contact me at any time :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been surfing a lot so far and I really like the idea. Whenever I settle down in one place I'm hosting as much as I can to help other people with theirs travels.
It's not just about a free place to rest your head it's about connection with our people, culture etc. But helping poor travelers on their journey is always a nice thing for me! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hm...good question...ask me ;).

Would you call it amazing that I dedicated one year of my life to help disabled people getting a sort of normal life or would you call it amazing that I tied a rope around my feet and threw myself of a cliff? - YOU decide ;)!
