About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Once I travelled a lot and loved meeting people all around the world but I got older and less flexible, my experience of traveling has decreased. My current mission is to increase and to start enjoying life to it's fullest.

ABOUT ME

I am laid back and mostly chilled person with a lot of patience and being very spontaneous. I am curious and love adventure. Sometimes I am probably too adventurous and seeking the thrill. More or less an irresponsible responsible person. I am very open-minded and interested in everything new, e.g. people, culture, countries etc. I believe in the good of a person until one's proved me wrong.

PHILOSOPHY

Yesterday was history;
tomorrow is mystery;
and today is a gift.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing couches and meet wonderful people :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing in Mexico and continued all the way to South America. I love it! It's the best way to travel and to experience local life. Wherever I have the opportunity and the time to surf i do. Nevertheless, once in a while due to lack of time it's not possible because couchsurfing needs time to get to know the host/surfer.

Interests

I read/watch thrillers and documentaries. Once in a while odd humours and action movies. I like to play tennis and volleyball. Eating, going out and having good discussions or simple conversations is quite delightful. I would never decline a good party :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job to go on a long journey not knowing when and where to end.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn everything about the country I visit. Learn the language (somehow I only to manage to learn the basics) and the eating and drinking habits. I like to share German recipes and and good stories :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

More or less any kind of talks, good drinks and food and big laughter.
