CURRENT MISSION Give everything you can, ask for what you need. Take things as they come, enjoy and take it easy! ABOUT ME extremely curious, intelligent, strong, very friendly and undertaking / adventourous... Couchsurfing asks "all about me" that's not gonna happen in this paragraph. Hmm: i would like to say that i like to take my time for things and people so that i can enjoy them intensely. Love and connection. PHILOSOPHY Give what you can, ask for what you need. Trust any stranger, unless your gutfeeling tells you differently.
Interested in Concerts
Fluent in German
Learning French
Pioneer Badge
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I surf and host. Surfing: I like to have real experiences; a view and actual participation in someone else's daily life is something I really enjoy. Simple things. Trying to speak your language, cook your dishes, go to the canteen of your work or university, things like that. Hosting: I like you to be part of my life as an intermezzo of your own; I'll take you with me for all kinds of errands, show you some daily-life stuff, ask you to join me in cooking my specialties, stuff like that... Oh yeah, I also like to take you to concerts or other cultural events; not the massive ones, but the smaller alternative ones and you can use my bike. If the season is right and if I estimate you as being stirty enough, we might also go for a sailingtrip on my small but seaworthy yacht! COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE see references
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The roaring of Stromboli, Sicilia, Italy while sleeping at the foot of it. Sailing the Atlantic with a sailing cargo(!)ship that did not have an engine at all! On that ocasion not seeing land, only water, fish, sun, moon and stars for 14 days...
My Interests
People, languages, cooking, being outside, sailing, swimming, culture, improvising, making people laugh, making people feel comfortable, reading, writing, singing...The 8 o' clock news on tv, lots of different music, also from the countries that I went to or lived in.
