About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After studying and working my mission is firstly study as much spanish as possible during my stay in Ecuador from January till April and secondly to get to know Ecuador as extensive as it can be. As I am really pissed of this broad tax abuse (not only from Apple!) and fed up with the situation that the world´s tax pie is not allocated in a equitable and fair way I also want to learn how international tax things are working out in Ecuador, above all regarding its relationship to the US. Because a doctoral thesis to this topic is planed too I am gonna work for a intergovernmental law firm to find out what my part could be to change to world a little bit!

ABOUT ME

I love adventure! But sometimes you could call me an introvert too, because I love thinking and sitting and writing too. Staring out of a bus or train on long journeys is also one way of life I do prefer indeed.

PHILOSOPHY

Better give than take. Maybe it is not a philosophy which I do not follow the whole time. But I try. Oh -and humour! That´s a hell of a philosophy! Although I couldn´t tell you a single joke (not joking), I love the idea of beeing calmed down even in the worst situations (or at least very annoying ones) and take it easy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I started participating in CS when I arrived in Canada 6 years ago, so my experience is just based on surfing - but it is still incredible! Since that day I have met so many people with so many different ideas and attidutes from all over the world that I can say I had some really blow minding situation! What does CS mean for me? I guess it is what you are ready to give - because you will get so much more back if you are taking part in this project!
