CURRENT MISSION

Travelling, getting to know new cultures and interesting people

ABOUT ME

I am a very open-minded and friendly person who laughs a lot.
I am interested in getting to know new cultures and new food.
I love to learn new languages and to play the clarinet.
I enjoy belly dancing as well as salsa, bachata and merengue.
I'm a huge admirer of sunsets, full moon and stars, I just can't take my eyes off them.
I love animals (except insects), especially dogs and cats.
I believe it's important to treasure and appreciate even the smallest thing in life. The beauties of nature are what make me feel happy, majestic and free.

PHILOSOPHY

Just do it your way - and you will love it!

Nobody makes a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

Fais de ta vie un rêve et d'un rêve, une réalité.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted some really nice people and visited one of them in return in Berlin. :) In Chile I surfed for almost 3 weeks and got to know very friendly people! This year I travelled through Mauritius for 2 weeks and stayed with various couchsurfers. It was an amazing experience and I got to know very nice people! Most recently I travelled through Central America and the West Indies and met really great people and had unforgettable experiences!
