CURRENT MISSION

last big backpacking trip - Peru&Bolivia- before starting my student teaching in Germany

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and cannot imagine how I could ever have lived without exploring new places, people, languages, cultures! If I have to put it into words, I'd say I am adventourous, caring, sometimes funny (if you can deal with some German irony:P), and talkative, though slighty shy when first meeting new ppl- so gimme some minutes to warm up- and soon you'll see that I can become a little crazy from time to time :D

PHILOSOPHY

So, yes, gonna be a teacher as you can see in my favourite quote below...Travelling/ hosting other travellers is just an amazing opportunity to keep on learning more and more- about others, but also about yourself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am not a member of any CS groups, but whenever I can, I offer my place as host, and whenever I need a place to stay, I ask for it:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I both surfed (Iceland and Canada) and hosted (Australia)- now I hope to surf some couches together with my bf in Spain, Peru and Lima

Interests

travelling & meeting new people, being outdoors, hiking/trekking, a good book, watching sunset & sunrise while lying in a tent &eating oatmeal:P, and the feeling of having made a change to someone's life/ having created a good memory :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the experiencing of the feeling of "you made it" to see this beautiful place only by means of using your own feet, e.g. getting a full view on the Rockwall, Canada, or the Markha Valley trail in Jammu/Kashmir, India :)

Teach, Learn, Share

“I regard it as the foremost task of education to insure the survival of these qualities: an enterprising curiosity, an undefeatable spirit, tenacity in pursuit, readiness for sensible self-denial, and above all, compassion.”

Kurt Hahn
