About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying litte things in life!

ABOUT ME

I am spontaneous and made the experience that the best things just happened unplanned and often by coincidence.
When I travel I am the most interested in the people, culture and different ways of life. This is where I have learned the most, so far. Big buildings and monuments are nice, but the real adventure is meeting new people!

Typical for me is my sense of curiosity - so it could happen that I ask a lot ;). And of course my optimism, which keeps me in a good mood.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offered already my couch when I lived in Indonesia to other travellers and had great experiences there. In germany I couldn't host so far, because my flat is out of town.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences so far are entirely positive. I made my first experiences in Singapore, where I got a showing around by two locals. When I moved alone to Indonesia for a 6 month internship - I become friends with the couchsurfing crew so there was always something to do and didn't felt like beeing divided from my oter friends.

Interests

Drums& Guitar, Cooking, Mountainbiking, Surfing, Diving, Snowboarding, sailing and everything what brings fun!
I love to talk to interesting people over hours, especially when we don't share the some opinions, or when we can learn from each other.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's all about groove! In my former band I play mostly Hard Rock with electrinic and gothic elements. But in general I listen to all types of music which have a good groove and are indtrument made ;) -> My new band plays Funk & Soul
