CURRENT MISSION

try to enjoy life...

ABOUT ME

I work as a programmer in Germany and my home is near Bautzen. I was born in the former GDR and I'm very proud of being an east German product :) I like music and photography, sports, being outside.

I'm an open-minded creative person, interested in art and music, that has fun with sports and visiting and explore known and new places.

When i met my husband everything changed. He's a programmer like me, but first of all a musician and visionary. His life is dedicated to surf music and so is mine now too. We organise tours and concerts for surf bands from all over. When we travel it's mostly connected to surf music events or to visit new places to set up something in the future. If you are interested in this music and want to know more, visit http://surferjoe.it.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to let it only pass by.

update
even if everybody might say this, but you understand life and the meaning of all, if you have kids and if you see all through their eyes. you will start having doubts of society systems and modern life and ways of living and you will really start enjoying the very little beautiful things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show you Bautzen, Upper Lusatia, Dresden and Leipzig. We can do bbq at my garden, watch movies, listen to music, go to parties or just enjoy the nature.
I love to go hiking, climbing and swimming, but i don't have much free time. So if you want to see some nature, i'm more then happy to get out of my office day to join you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

found many couches and new friends while travelling Europe and the world,
and i like to have guests at my place/s, too
Up to now i had only few guests sleeping for one night and i was not very entertaining, as i felt sick. But i try to make it possible to help out, as people helped me out many times, too.

update
as a quartett now we might be a challenge for hosts, but our kids get used to new places and faces very very quick. they are the happiest persons that i know and they will melt your heart with their smiles.
if you come to our place, be aware of things spread out on the floor
if we stay at your place, we will take care that they don't play with your things.
it might be easier if you have kids, as you know what is coming, and it might be easier for all of us if we have our room.

Interests

I like to take photos, being at home and spend time in my garden. i love to go on trips with my bike or motorbike :) go swimming in summer, often meet friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the volcano Mt. Hallasan on Jeju, Southkorea in winter. It was covered the night before with 70cm fresh snow and we didn't see anything on top. that was the experience in life where i felt, how little things you need in life, just breath and move your feet forward - that's it! An existential expericene.
And then there's this feeling, that you cannot go one step more, and you freeze and hope to wake up. And on the way down, running, happy, all is forgotten and you did it again!
