CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

geez, I don't like talking about myself much... Anyways, I love to travel and meet people (the best times of my life so far have always been away from home) but I also enjoy coming home to the people and places that have found their way into my heart... If I'm not traveling physically, I let my mind travel & escape by reading, watching and dancing.

PHILOSOPHY

Though lovers be lost, love shall not, and death shall have no dominion (Dylan Thomas)

Nothing in this universe gets lost, just transformed into something else, something new, and potentially better...

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately, haven't had a chance to host yet, but surfed in the US and had a BLAST
