Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finding the best life possible and enjoying every second of it.
ABOUT ME
I am an outgoing, open-minded person with a couple of differing interests. To make it easier, here's a short life-story:
I grew up in the Eastern part of Germany (small differences are notable sometimes), went to live in Vancouver a while, came back, studied and worked in Berlin, didn't like consulting too much and stopped it to spend a year volunteering in Ecuador. I am now looking for a good balance of work and making the most of what Berlin-life has to offer.
I like to think of myself as a fun companion who loves learning, growing and seeing new things.
PHILOSOPHY
A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline.
Start every day as if it were on purpose.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Due to my lovely but special roommate I can't offer any couch here but I'd love to share some city-exploring trips through Berlin.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I pretty much started using Couchsurfing in South-America (Columbia) and loved the people I met through it there. So, now that I'm getting back in the swing of things, I am looking forward to community life in B.
Interests
Music. I listen to music all the time. From Latin music (Salsa, a veces Reggeaton, Maná y todo esto) to German and English HipHop to Electro to well, Pop, Rock or stuff like Heather Nova.
I try to keep up with international politics and news, like good food and getting to know people. My latest craze is a healthy and fit lifestyle, so I try to work out on the road.
