About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to put at least some of the my many ideas I have what to do in life, into practice.

ABOUT ME

I think I am quite an open-minded and tolerant person; I enjoy more of a good conversation than going to the club (although I love dancing and practice dance at least three times a week) and I definitely like thought-provoking discussions. I have a camera but am too shy to use it -- one of my challenges for next year ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

I think it is important to embrace what life brings to you and learn from your experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been a while that I have been active on couchsurfing - mostly because of an unstable life and modest living spaces. But the couchsurf experience I had so far was truly great! I always met interesting people who were very welcoming and showed me around their home town.

Interests

I have too many interests what is why I find it challenging to concentrated on one thing only. But on top of the list are definitely dancing, hiking, watching the sunset and breathing the cold air, eating chocolate, drinking good wine, talking to my friends and family. I love photography, especially portrait and landscape, but should truly practice more.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have really no favorite music style -- I like almost all kind of music, it always depends a bit on my mood. But I am generally into electro swing, soul, Bossa Nova, World Music

Movies -- Star Wars!! and all movies with Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill!

Books..hmm..there are so many good ones! Ask me in person about it ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have jumped into the sea in Denmark end of October -- it was already pretty cold!! And it was in the evening, so super dark and I couldn't really see where I was jumping into. It was such a startling moment when I hit the cold and dark water!

Teach, Learn, Share

Life doesn't always bring what we want or wish but we need to make the best out of it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A tasty dinner! Good conversations. German Christmas cookies and Indian homemade sweets.
