About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying this big, wonderful world

ABOUT ME

I am a nature lover above all and like to explore all that a place has to offer when I arrive at a new place.

PHILOSOPHY

What can be imagined, can be achieved. We must dare to dream. -- Dana Scully -

Everything happens for a reason

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I have no couch to offer, but I am helping people who would like to know something about my place of living or places I have been living before.
And I love surfing myself when I am traveling, have already met many awesome people this way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I spent my first night in Iceland on a CS couch, until the next bus towards north left. It was great, I came back three or four times to the same great host.
In Canada I couchsurfed, too, for my first night. While I was back in Germany I hung out with some Couchsurfers from Bochum who do a lot of fun stuff together.
