CURRENT MISSION

Change the world to the better - wherever you are and whatever you do!

ABOUT ME

I am a positive affective person who loves to smile, to travel and to meet people from all over the world with diverse backgrounds and cultures. In my spare time, I love being outdoors and to do sports (running, cycling, wind- and kitesurfing, salsa, snowboarding or scuba diving especially with sharks). Most important for me are family and friends, nature, sunshine, happy people and music. Life is a big gift!

PHILOSOPHY

★ A journey with thousand miles begins with just one step.

★ If you can dream it, you can do it. (Walt Disney)

★ Das Leben besteht nicht aus Momenten in denen du atmest, sondern aus denen, die dir den Atem rauben!

★ Träume als würdest du ewig leben; lebe als würdest du morgen sterben! (James Dean)

★ The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. (Helen Keller)

★ Dreams are not something to wait for; they are something to work for.

★ Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are right. (Henry Ford)

★ Shoot for the moon, even if you miss it you'll land amongst the stars. (Les Brown)

★ Wege entstehen dadurch, dass man sie geht (Franz Kafka)

★ The journey is the destination.

★ There are no strangers, only friends we haven't met yet. (William Butler Yeats)

★ If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

★ Je intensiver man lebt, desto deutlicher sieht man,
dass 'die einfachen Dinge' im Leben die wahrhaft größten sind.

★ Life is happening while other people make plans.

★ Habe Vertrauen zum Leben - und es trägt dich lichtwärts. Vertraue auf dein Glück - und du ziehst es herbei. (Lucius Annaeus Seneca)

★ Dem Herzen folgen...
Wir müssen nicht immer den kürzesten Weg nehmen. Lass uns lieber einen Weg wählen den wir gerne gehen, lass uns freundliche Begleiter mitnehmen zum Schwatzen und Lachen, lass uns wunderbare Pausen einlegen. (Jochen Mariss)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There are many different ways in which I participate in couchsurfing: by sharing my smile, telling my travel stories, meeting for dinner, showing people around - These are just a few examples.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met amazing peole on each journey - this really changed my life. One tought me how to break an apple only with my hands and a clear mind. An old man told me about his impressive life. A wonderful family invited me for breakfast on their boat. I stayed in a one and a half million dollar apartment and elsewhere on a chicken farm. Another interesting CouchSurfing experience for one night: 4 flat mates, many friends and 12 backpackers - having a huge party, sleeping in the bath tube, on the table, in a tent in the garden :) Nice chaos...
I am very thankful for all those experiences. I have found some really good friends on the other side of the world. CS brings cultures together.
