ABOUT ME

I AM
happy to live
and
smiling as often as possible:D

I am very curious, energetic, eager to learn and to share.

I am looking for this special small moments in live where small things are connecting in a way that it makes my heart beat faster, my face smile and myself just happy to live this moment - together and alone.
Sometimes I can be a bit shy in the beginning, especially in a group, I need my hour to get in the situation.
I really try to find a way of living this live in a conscious way, to take care of this world ,and us, the people in it, so I`m interessted in communities, organisations and ideas how we can change things.
Often I think a lot - to much - about me and what is going on around but lucky me, there is meditation and Yoga to learn to stop it from time to time:) or better to say, be aware of what i`m thinking.
THINK and then DO - CHANGE - MOVE:)

PHILOSOPHY

SMILE:D and TRUST towards live and you will get exactly the same back

Nothing happens without reason, so just see the good in what is happening

We are responsible for everything in our live, everything - the good as the bad - to see this and to live it, is the biggest gift

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the beginning I hosted people, but at the moment I`m just surfing because I don`t have an own flat.
but as soon as I have I will host host host to be able to "pay back" a bit of the hospitality and generousity I experienced in the last month.
Until this time I`m spreading the news about couchsurfing over the world:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couchsurfer in March 2009:) In the last years there were some people at my home and every single "surfer" was good to meet.
Then I got my first experiences during week-holidays and I got a clue how amazing it is for travelling. After spending nearly 5 month bagpacking through France just with couchsurfing (and wwoofing)I say: couchsurfing makes this world a better place!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

it is (nearly) all about travelling:)
first the other:
"Really realizing that what is happening in my live, lies 100% in my own hands:D"

5 month bagpacking, couchsurfing, wwoofing, hitchhiking through the south of France and Corsica, trusting in live and myself and without a single bad thing happening
7 month at the island of amazing La Gomera!!! one of the best places I've ever been to!!!:)
6 month England, working in a hotel, there I`ve learned to be self-responsible and to be patient with myself and the world around me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let`s share moments, moments in full consciousness of the now and here:)
I do Yoga and meditation nearly every day and it is really nice to do it together, so if you want to join, let`s share:)
I would love to learn more about juggling and I`m always happy to get some inspiration for playing guitar.
At the moment I`m really interessted in Buddhism.
I would say we always learn something from each other when we meet.
