About Me

CURRENT MISSION

conquering the world! ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a tolerant, funny (hilarious actually), nice and open-minded person. I am also very direct (blunt some might say), so be prepared for honest answers, and I prefer honest people. I like to know who I am dealing with and I want people to know who I am.
I am an outgoing person, but also like to have a nice quite evening watching tv or reading.
I am a huge handball fan, love rock music and enjoy eating (PIZZA,CHOCOLATE), luckily I also enjoy doing sports.... I love company and I am very curious about people from different countries. there´s so much to learn! For me it´s heart warming and mind- opening to spend time with people from foreign countries.

I have taken gap years 3 times so far. First one was after graduation from school. I did voluntary work in scotland which was absolutely amazing. I then took time off after my diploma in psychology. This time I went to Australia for a work&travel experience. That was awesome too! I took another year off just to get a break after my energy-consuming education to become a therapist. And of course I travelled again!
When I returned after my trip around the world I realized that I am not done,quit my job and am now on the road again in South America and Central America. I was so impressed with the culture and the people, I just want more!
Also I want to become a proper surfer and salsa dancer :)

I am looking forward to meeting all the amazing people on the way :)

PHILOSOPHY

I was born to travel, unfortunately one needs to earn some money too :P

Honesty is the key to happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted all my friends from foreign countries (who I met in scotland) and stayed at their places. obviously it was always brilliant since we´ve known each other for a while.
I was hosted by people in the USA, Canada, Sweden, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Costa Rica, Argentina...... Thanks!!!
Hopefully I will be able to return the favor many times more over here. ...I was lucky enough to have really nice experiences here too.

Unfortunately I was not able to host for a couple of years because my education was super stressful and I simply did not have enough spare time or energy to take care of travellers. I will start hosting again after my trip around the world and I am already looking forward to that!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Tasmania! Absolutely stunning and super fun couchsurfing experience. Actually all my couchsurfing experiences have been great. Everytime I am overwhelmed by the hospitality and generosity of people.
Sky dive in New Zealand. Achieving my Advanced Open Water Certificate yay!
In general every time I left my comfort zone it made me a better person :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I can offer my language of course and my views on life. I always enjoy to learn about new ways of life or just different approaches to life. I enjoy doing stuff together and making new experiences together.

I like to help people, so if you need help with something let me know.
As I said above I enjoy food. Unfortunately my cooking skills are a bit limited. But I enjoy cooking together and I am happy to do the dishes ;)
