About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finding a job that pays the rent and gives me enough time to learn how to surf

ABOUT ME

I´m an outgoing, communicative, a little chaotic, humourous, honest, friendly, sometimes little clumsy and thoughtful person. My friends mean the world to me and I love being around people.
Besides that, I enjoy going out, having fun and have a shot at things I've never done before in my life.
My latest and also greatest experience ever was working in and travelling OZ.
It made me feel alive more than anything else and got me infected by an uncurable travel bug. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

You can't make someone else's choices and you shouldn't let someone else make yours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´d love to participate in the CS2 Project by offering my couch to people after having returned from my travels.
Share the great experiences I made and return all the support, hospiatlity, help and friendlyness that I met while couchsurfing myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I gained my first couchsurfing experience right after I arrived in Australia and it turned out to be one of the best things I ever experienced. Due to cs, I met so many wonderful people and some of them even became really close friends .
I'd never thought cs would work out that great and be so much fun.

Interests

Right now, I'm mainly interested in earning enough money to go back to Australia as soon as I can. To live there for another while and visit the places that are still on my list of spots I'd love to see.

  • working out
  • traveling
  • scuba diving
  • snorkeling

Music, Movies, and Books

There are so many kinds of music I´m listenig to (right now I'm more into "rockish" stuff- but it always depends on what I'm doing. When I'm at the club, I generally prefer Electronic music).
Same with movies. There are too many different genres I like that it would take ages to write them all down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I've seen and done while travelling Australia, definitley was to go snorkeling and diving at the Great Barrier Reef. Would do it again any time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm definitely trying to learn how to surf- so I would be glad about anyone willing to teach me. (i'm already good at the first step: how to swallow water and being smashed by the waves) ;)

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Indonesia, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Germany
