About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and let live!

ABOUT ME

I’m half German and half Japanese, so I’ve always been faced with different cultures. For quite a long time I found it very difficult to be in between two cultures (even though my connection to Germany is much closer than to Japan). I got in contact with different lifestyles, ethical values and aims in life so I had to figure out a lot of questions in my younger days. But I got no final answers in years. Nowadays I don’t really care about it. The world is a weird place where everybody has his or her own belief and where the truth is beyond human imagination. So there is no need for answers. Be curious about life without expecting anything, enjoy it and be happy. That’s all I have learnt in 27 years... :D

PHILOSOPHY

Always be willing to learn and grow and to look on the bright side of life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't surfed a couch yet, but I'm sure to do so one day... In the meantime I invite everybody to be my guest! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In April 2011 I hosted Dunja and Nicky from Germany and in February 2012 Andriy from Kiev, Ukraine. - Once in a year is not what I have been expecting, so I hope to host surfers more often in the future… :)

Interests

I love laughing, reading & writing, doing sports, meeting people, travelling, dreaming, being creative and much more... :)

  • writing
  • reading
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost every kind of music - it depends on my mood. And it's the same with movies. OK, I don't like horror movies, that's for sure, but this is the only exception. My favourite authors are Hermann Hesse and Albert Camus. These two said almost everything that had to be said - at least in my opinion.
