CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

hey, my name is Michaela,
I am a nice person (like everyone here), very curious, sometimes outgoing, sometimes shy, enthusiastic, open minded and not russian (only look like it?!) !
and a bit lazy in filling in profiles... :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Curiosity killed the cat ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

first I was a member of HC when a friend from there mentioned CS. I think both sites offer a great oppertunity to learn more about other cultures and countries off the tourist track and get a better understanding for each other !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met wonderful people via CS (and HC, sorry, I'm tending to mix it up) in a short time. everyone was so nice and hospitable, unforgetable.

Interests

Scuba Diving, Reading, Travelling of course, Music, especially Chocolate and Food in general (always like to discover new food), Movies and going to the Cinemas in other countries, walking around new places, Bikram Yoga...
FSM - the Flying Spaghetti Monster !!!

Teach, Learn, Share
