CURRENT MISSION
I started my "gap year"/"sabatical"/what you'd like to call it/ november 1st in Buenos Aires. I am taking a break from uni - even though a lot of people would say humanity students of the german education system are the last ones that need breaks ;) Right now Im trying to figure out what I want to do during this break - backpack or settle down in BA. Therefore I'd like to get a taste of the backpacking spirit in Uruguay and then decide. Also I am trying to practice my Spanish.

ABOUT ME
I am very curious about other people and their ways of living and thinking. I'd describe myself as an open-minded, easy-to-get-along-with, pretty-fun-time-person.

PHILOSOPHY

"You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf."

"Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What's important is the action. You don't have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow."
-Carrie Fisher

“But paradise is locked and bolted....
We must make a journey around the world to see if a back door has perhaps been left open.”
-Heinrich von Kleist or Bertolt Brecht?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only been hosted. that was in the east of canada (Ontario and Quebec). They were three very different, but very interesting and joyful experiences.
It was very interesting to see (once again) how different people are and how differently they live. (The reviews are on my friend's profile with whom I travelled:
