CURRENT MISSION

..trying to stay at the same place for a while :-)

ABOUT ME

Sometimes I am shocked about how much I have already experienced in my short life! However I still think that life offers so much more and I have lust for life. I just came back from a 6 month trip to Central America where I amongst others taught little children English as a volunteer - an experience that has shocked, surprised and positively inspired me, an experience that I dont want to miss in my life anymore. And I know that CS has influenced me and my life's path. After 3 years of travelling, I hurled myself into the world of a new job and daily routine and now I am hosting people at my house in Germany.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is just real when shared!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed about 30 couches, offered my couch in the States (next door to the Couchsurfing headquarter in the mission in San Francisco), then in Germany and in Costa Rica and now I want to give back in Berlin!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Absolutely fantastic to explore the world through people that live in this world. But one has to be careful to not get destracted by all the inspiring great Couchsurfer around...

Interests

Music (especially live), painting, exercise, foreign countries, travelling, trying to play the guitar, trying to not forget how to play accordeon, trying to play ukulele, learning languages, old friends, reading, cold draft beer.
