About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be outside! As much as possible.

ABOUT ME

What to tell?
I am a vegan in my daily life.
I am sometimes a vegetarian when I travel.
I can travel with a very small bag.
I can't sing at all. I still like to sing.
I believe in grassroots movements and that we can change the world through the things we buy - or not buy.
I can sleep (almost) everywhere.

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh a lot! Have dreams! Let the sunshine in! Have an opinion! Listen! Help wherever you can! Stand up for your beliefs! Don't care about wasting time - but like what you do! Go for walks! Don't mind inconveniences! Dance!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started 2007 in Newfoundland. And met the sweetest people ever. And that's the way it has been since. I think: What a great way to meet people, to really get to know a country/city. I haven't used couchsurfing for more than 12 years though. I guess, most of us don't use it anymore, right?

Interests

Obviously travelling. But besides that: reading, cooking, eating, drinking, taking pictures, writing, dancing, walking, talking, debating, laughing... I guess, living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thing is I find most things I see or do amazing. Not because I live such a crazy life but because I think life itself is crazy and gorgeous.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you your first German phrases or help someone practising to speak it. (I was a German teacher for a couple of years.) I can show you how to hula hoop. I could swap a book you're bringing with one from my bookshelf.

O, I can cook for or with you! Vegan though.
