About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"When I was young, I used to think that strangers had no language, they just pretended to speak" (Jean Couteau) I changed my opinion and now want to get to know the cultural environments belonging to the languages!

ABOUT ME

I'm a very open-minded person, searching for new adventures! I don't need much time in the bathroom, I'm short and therefore don't need much space, totally uncomplicated...

PHILOSOPHY

"See, I think there's a plan. There's a design for each and every one of us. You look at nature. Bird flies somewhere, picks up a seed, shits the seed out, plant grows. Bird's got a job, shit's got a job, seed's got a job. And you've got a job." (Cold Mountain)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get to know new people and cultures and to travel as much as possible :)

I love to party, go to the movies, travelling, or hanging around talking... nothing strange I guess ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kinds of movies, but I'm not too much into romance... I like to dance to Techno, HipHop, and Dancehall music, but I also love Reggae, Alternative, and some other styles. It always depends on my mood :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The castle of Versailles was the most beautiful architecture I've ever seen! Everybody should have been there! The same applies to the Cliffs of Moher - most stunning place! Also, although I don't really visit churches, Sagrada Familia left me speechless!
Also spending longer periods abroad, as I did in San Diego and Cavan, Ireland, is challenging and still gives you so much! In addition, I usually travel alone, which is always an exciting experience in foreign countries!
