About Me

I think people call me positive, flexible, always in for something fun, i can be quiet aswell and like my rest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Adventure! When i am in a new city, i like to be around locals to experience the city like the locals do.

I think this is a great oppurtunity to get in touch with local people who you know you can trust and give you some great inside tips!

Interests

I do rock climbing since 6 monhts. mostly indoor sportclimbing and bouldering. i climbed in Hampi, India and Manali, India which was amazingly beautifull!
I like to play chess although i'm not that good but a little challenge is good.
I am fascinated by quantum reality and like to read about it aswell as phylosophy, psychology and science.
I am always open to try new recipies and like to cook if i have the time for it.

Lucid dreaming.

And obviously i like to travel and experience other cultures. Hiking is a euporic way to see a lot of the earths beautifull nature!
