About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe diem and make people laugh :D

ABOUT ME

Honest, with loads of energy and a wacky sense of humor, curious as a child, adventurous and spontaneous :)

PHILOSOPHY

I have no constant philosophy. I improve and change a bit by every day, so does my philosophy :D However, I second Confucius on his statement that “The hardest thing of all is to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat.” :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hmm...Just started.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Showing around in Copenhagen, Malmø, meeting with local couchsurfers in countries I am visiting, participating in the meetings.

Interests

I love exploring new places and gaining new perspectives on life:) That's why I am travelling. I am not so much into passive travelling. Thus you will probably never see me lying on a beach getting the perfect bronze tan. But I definitely be first in a row for canyoning, parachuting or horse-riding:)
If I am not travelling, I am swimming, dancing, playing badminton, reading, taking photos or just sitting somewhere in a café watching people passing by :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmhm. Horse-riding on Negritas back through the valley of Vinales in Cuba is engraved deeply into my memory because of: a) the horse did only listen to Spanish commandos and any English word made it run as crazy( my perfect "hola" and "gracias" did not really help:D:D) ; b) the horse was afraid of thunder and lightning and it happened to be the storm coming on our ride back:D That resulted in: me soaking in a heavy rain riding to nowhere and everywhere at the same time. The end: I AM STILL HERE:D

One of the evenings in Hyderabad will always stay in my mind and my heart. As my friend's family wrapped me into a sarree, they wrapped me into unconditional hospitality, weightless laugh, warmth and devotion..

Those midnights in a small town somewhere in Pennsylvania when my way home from work was lightened-up by thousands of lightbugs. Although I didn't feel at home, I felt like in fairytale..:)
