About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet different cultures and creating new friendship all around the world

ABOUT ME

I'm this tiny girl (shorter than you!) making my way through different countries and loving it. I've been working on a bunch of farms, wineries and cideries on the East and West Coast, Woofing and paying my way across the american continent in an effort to try to figure out what I wanna do with my life. I've realized that travelling is the best thing to do, at least for now, and I can't wait to see more of the world and its people!I studied psychology in Gießen and now I am living with my boyfriend in a quiet village called "Bad Kissingen" (Bavaria).I did an awesome pratical experience in the clinic "Heiligenfeld". At the moement I am not working. I am using my freetime to meditate, yoga, reading and travelling to different friends, I coudn`t see for a long time. That means I have time to receive guests;)

PHILOSOPHY

You don`t have to belong to anything except that which belongs to you. Find your own path, make your own way in life, you don't have to dance but get your heart moving!
(words from a German song)

"On must still have chaos in oneself to give birth to adancing star!"(Nietzsche)

"In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep." Albert Einstein (dare to be different!)

Le Petit Prince:

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.They must be felt with the heart."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By using it again and again, making friends("Friendships-to brighten your being"), gathering contacts, finding strangers across the miles to become aquainted with and make the world a little smaller.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It`s been amazing so far. I haven't had any problems, everyone's been super nice and generous, as usual.

Interests

Learning how to cook different stuff, experimenting with tastes.. especially with a bunch of people.
Dancing,doing yoga in a park or on the beach, going out with friends, snowboarding in winter, lazing in the summer sun for a good tan. Volleyball, reading, going to the beach on relaxing days. There are few things better than a sauna and a good massage! And of course I love travelling... discovering the beauty of other countries, speaking different languages and learning from other cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

one year canada on my own...
When I was young I did really crazy gymnastic stuff...flic-flacs,dopple backflips..now it`s hard to imagine that I did all these scary things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll give you a few cooking lessons if ya want. Like Apfelstrudel for example, its a German speciality.
I'm really good at doing dishes if you need a lesson on those as well!And I can give you yoga lessons...
Furthermeore I`ve a piece of advice to offer:
"You gain strength,courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face...
Do the things you think you CANNOT do!"
