About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
To find my true inspiration, to stay critical and always adventurous!

ABOUT ME

Thats a long one...^^ I'm German, and grew up in the South of France - Since Im a spring chicken I began to travel alone, trying to realize my dreams...
To describe even just a little myself: I am a political animal, studying since 6 years - Now in Paris. I practiced Kitesurfing. I'm trying to learn the gypsy guitar and to elaborate new travel projects every summer. I was working for Amnesty international and Greenpeace, drawing a lot, drinking tea and trying to be creative, every day. I made a project about egyptology in Egypt and Soudan, then a political one in Cuba... I live long time in Latin America a little bit everywhere, then in the US last year - and much more... :) So, now, I settled in Paris for a year or so!
I love to meet other, different folks of the earth...and hate to write in those little quadrangles.

PHILOSOPHY

Viva la vida!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would be delighted to receive people and to give this luck back I did receive in the past...!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since Im living in France and through my travels I discovered our wonderful community - I received people in my house and it was most of the time more than just an experience. Exchanging point of views, experiences and lifetimes..!!

Interests

I am a very passionate one. I was training Viet Vo Dao and traditional arms, combined with Tai Chi, meditation and Chi Cong during a long time. Now - with the time passing by - it switched all more towards the seaside (Kitesurf and other), trekking and writing. Travel is the condition of my happiness and certainly also to leave this european normal life for a little time...
To live an adventure that changes your mind, your character and to understand yourself, every day..
That is progress.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many books - Garcia Marquez, from Hesse to Galeano. Films from Almodovar, to In her eyes until Into the wild... It would be a too long list to write them down... Ask me personnally when we meet one day! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My travel to Egypt two years ago during the Revolution was a real amazing thing. This wonderful but also difficult country with so many sides was incredible, also because I was living there before the Revolution, in 2008. Then in Turkey last summer and now I could finally return to Latin America. To see how a society changes, a whole country is moving and this in so many contexts . I'm not able to define it here in a few lines...^^
But working in Cuba was not unamazing neither...

Teach, Learn, Share
