About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my place on this planet in which I can contribute a great deal to a global society coping with issues like environmental degradation, social unjustice, and cruelty among living beings.

ABOUT ME

Easy-going. There's not much necessary to make me happy.

Want to have a good time and want others to have a good time. Easy! :-)

I am kind of a tree hugger, a nature lover, a mostly vegan, often smiling, tolerant, quiet but talkative, person.

I enjoy meeting people, having great times with friends and strangers, but as much I do often enjoy total stillness and being for my own.

I try to learn from other people and cultures and want to see the world from as much different point of views as possible.

LIKES
* being completely in the moment / forgetting everything around me * food, food, aaaand food (I can spend hours in the kitchen and hours eating) * remote places * just hanging out and staring into the sky * deep, fundamental, philosophical talks about society and history * piano music * sleeping * sporty activities

PHILOSOPHY

Living sencefully means to live in a way which allows you to help both yourself and the society.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whenever there is the possibility of time and space to accommodate Couchsurfers, I will be more than happy to be a good host and return all the good that so many beautiful hosts in my past have given to me :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been on couches in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, India, Italy, Spain and Germany. I have caught up with Surfers at several meetings and I loved it so far and I hope that upcoming couches will be just as comfortable, hosts just as great people, meetings just as enjoyable, nights out just as much fun and conversations just as inspiring :-)

Spending one night alone in a small, simple hut on top of a mountain in Abel Tasman NP in NZ during winter, after a lonely three day trail through the park.
