I love to laugh, make plans in excel and try not to take myself too seriously ;-)

One of the most important things for me in life is to accept and adapt. I love sleeping on carpets, mountaintops and sometimes even beds. I love enjoying the simple things in life and sometimes just get away from all the luxury we soak ourselves in at home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been lucky enough to be hosted by so many people all over the globe and met every possible type of personality! It stilll amazes me that two strangers with no overlays in daily life, except for their mutual curiosity and openness, can share such close relations, such as sharing a living space, at some random point on the globe.

Many people like to go on vacation, but I've made it my mission to travel as raw and real as I can make it happen. There is nothing more real than real people opening their homes to you and suddenly becoming a huge part of whatever journey we are currently on.

Interests

I love being active no matter if it's yoga, diving, underwaterrugby, hiking, horse back riding, sailing, hiking, biking, extreme sports, anything really.

I'm a yoga instructor and love sharing my mat with fellow couchsurfers - yoga can be anything from a kick ass workout to a deep meditation session. Plus I'm a technical/cave diver and underway to becoming a dive instructor, so I'm always happy to give anyone short introductions or explain any misconceptions about cave diving :-)

Love music, festivals, experiencing and learning about new and different cultures and views.

A good book can always get me exited and glued to its pages.

Participated (and starred as I'd like to think) in at least one drama production every year since the age of 6.

Love animals and everything to do with nature :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a solo backpacking/hitchhiking trip once around the globe for a year. One of the most challenging and rewarding experiences I have made as of yet.

Saw a cheetah in Sri Lanka, climbed up a few volcanoes on Bali, hiked up Mount Doom, jumped from a waterfall in New Zealand and into one in Iceland. Walked along the Grand Canyon with my grandparents, spent two weeks in a School in China, lived in Portugal working as a dive guide, hitchhiked through Eastern Europe/Balkan, survived a few scary turn of events in life, ran - alone and scared - with the bears in Alaska for three days straight, cave dived through southern France, got stranded in Turkey and I go to college everyday.

Got to meet all these amazing other couchsurfers on the way!

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga Instructor in the making, diving enthusiast and cave diver!

Speak English, German, French, Spanish and have started to learn Portuguese, Italian, Greek and Arabic :)

Apparently I'm a great cook, should really have a biography written about me and have been told to become a life coach mutiple times, but I'll let you be the judge of that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Yoga lessons! Diving tutorial, practicing languages :)

My weirdness and experiences, my open mindedness, how it is being neither 100% German nor American and living in between both cultures, what the heck underwaterrugby is...
