About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy allday life!

ABOUT ME

Wow, what about me... there is a lot to say, because I just love life, people, our planet and the wonderful nature we are living in.
Just contact me if you want to know more!

PHILOSOPHY

My life should have a soundtrack - I love music, festivals and concerts (as long as I can afford it!).

I love dancing. Tango, by the way :-) And sports in general, first of all running and swimming.
Well, I am kind of repeating what I said above.

I think a smile in life is absolutely worthy and gives you and your environment a lot of positivity. That's what I am: a positive and affirmative person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of space or privacy to host other people and I always have (should have ;-)) a whole bunch of work so I am rarely at home. This makes it hard to host others, but always try! :-)
I enjoy getting known to the people though, to meet them in person and join some of the CS events in Cologne if I am free. I have to say, I met a lot of awesome people out there!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met wonderful people who are couch surfers- I got known to them in my own city without having surfed myself. And am excited about all the people I already got known to. I traveled quite a lot without CS-connections and met people I lived with within the country - but with CS this could run way much easier!
So now I hope - beside my studies and exams - to welcome international surfers in my home as well :-)

Interests

Music, music, music..
I love doing sports (running and swimming) and the sea - if I am on the coast, I am happy!
Traveling and meeting nice and open minded people to talk, dance and laugh with - this is what gives life a deeper sense!
I try to get vegan because for me we have to take care about how we live and treat all the species (and nature) around us. It is a political ambition and my contribution to our world. At the moment, I am most of the time vegeterian, but the next step is closed...
At the same time I do not proselytize others, everyone just has to respect the lifestyle of the fellow human being.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh, I had the luck to see so many beautiful things all around the world:
I loved diving in Malaysia and also snorkeling with sharks- even if I have to admit that I was a bit afraid :-) Dancing tango in BsAs and seeing the best dancers live was absolutely great as well! Than skiing in July in the Andes (Mendoza, later Bariloche)- in Mendoza we were nearly alone in the mountains!
Hiking in Chile wasn't bad at all.
Than LA PROVENCE and LA CAMARGUE (Southern France) and L'Ardêche (Massif Central) - such a beautiful country side. The lonely islands in My, gorgeous! Living in the heart of Manhattan for a month, impressive.
Wherever I am and at home:
Meeting my friends and going out, sit, dance and talk together: awesome :-)
