CURRENT MISSION

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

Currently travelling in Nepal (until Nov 7th) and Australia (Nov 8th until Dec 22nd).

After having lived abroad in the UK (England and Scotland), the Netherlands, Indonesia and having done quite some travelling for study and work for seven years, I moved back to Germany (Berlin) in 2017 and started a job as Event Manager. This year however, I decided to take nine months off from my "normal job", worked two contracts on board a cruise ship and am now spending the last nine weeks of the year travelling Nepal and Australia. Two countries I always wanted to visit, one more dream come true! :)
As I'll be travelling on my own in Australia and know only very few friends there, it would be lovely to meet some new like minded people or even find a couch every now and then. What I like about couch surfing is that you get a chance to explore places from a different perspective and that one meets new people all the time.

I am an open-minded, outgoing and easygoing person; I like to laugh and make people happy. I love nature, no matter if seaside or mountains (although I have to admit I am an absolute mountain lover!), I like to do sports (cycling, climbing, running, yoga, hiking...) and I am into arts.

PHILOSOPHY
Life rewards the determined, those who dare, who dream and who choose.
