About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

Hmmm, everytime people ask me to describe myself, I am thinking this is really complicated. The way people see you is always different to the way someone feels to be. Sometimes I would like to see the world through another perons eyes.
In general people descripe me as a friendly, sympathic, social (public spirited), tough, open minded and happy girl, who loves to discover the world and lives her life.
The other side of me is really familiar and people I call my friends are friends for life.

As much as I can I meet my family and my friends.
I have 3 brothers, who I love from the bottom of my heart. I grew up with them in Stuttgart.

After my apprentisship I started working in a big industrial group company in the financial department. I have a Bechalor Degree in International Economics.
Working for NGOs and International Agencies enriches my life.

In the other freetime I love doing sports (especially MTB, Basketball or Salsa Dance), and I love partying sometimes...

Sentences which attended me in life:

HABE OFT GELACHT UM NICHT ZU WEINEN!
- I often laugh, to take away my tears

"La revolución se lleva en el corazón no en la boca para vivir de ella"
Ernesto Che Guevara

************************************************

Berühr mich, Treib mich an, Raub mir schlaf, Schenk mir Freiheit, Zeig mir Wildnis, Reiß mich mit, Entführ mein Herz, Verschwende meinen Atem, Schütz mein Leben, Trockne meine Tränen, Teile mein Glück, Liebe mich. (Tim Jacobs)
- Touch me, drive me on, heist my sleep, give me liberty, show me wildness, drag me along, abduct my heart, waste my breath, safe my life, dry my tears, share my luck, love me.

PHILOSOPHY

As well I believe that "Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die Grenzen meiner Welt." (Ludwig Wittgenstein) which one of my best friends is telling me very often...
We can translate it as: the limit of my language means the limit of my world. Or:
El límite de mi lengua significa el límite de mi mundo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe CS is the best Community I ever get to know. When you believe in the project, it will change your life, as it changed my life.

I'd love to share the CS community to meet and learn about other people and their culture.
I believe that the world can be a better place when we all learn from each other.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

lots and lots and lots... hosting and travelling... or just meeting

Interests

Beside my work, I am doing a part time study in International Economics.
In my freetime I love to share all my time with my family, my friends and my dog.
Y me encanta la SALSA! Baila, baila... me vuelvo loca.

Moreover I love travelling around and to see and learn as much as I can.
