About Me

CURRENT MISSION

update my profile and start couchsurfing again

ABOUT ME

I´m positive, curious, sometimes very direct and energetic usually also in the morning, which not everyone enjoys. I can be really talkative or sometimes quite, depends on my mood and the people.

Usually I just do what I feel like, I can have my problem with logical decisions. That´s why I bought a one-way ticket to Uruguay, why I didn´t study in Australia, stayed 2 years instead of 6 months in Latinamerica, almost stayed forever in Ecuador and so on. But it makes me feel quite alive.

I have a birth mark on my nose, big flat feet and a too long tongue. Just a normal weirdo like all of us.

I like sports, especially swimming and biking and also cooking and eating, sometimes a little too much. :D

I´m very close-minded and hate travelling. I think it´s something awful and dangerous.

I like Irony and humour.

PHILOSOPHY

If you stop dreaming, you stop living.

Happiness is only real when it's shared.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in meetings, I surfed couches and met people around the world and I will go on as long as anyone is hosting me. I hosted a bit in Göttingen as I live in a flat now, but I didn´t have that much time yet. But had some great Couchsurfers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

a lot!

Interests

The wind that touches my face.
The sand, earth and pebbles I feel under my feet.
The waves that break at my body.
The random people I meet on the streets.
The singing of the birds while reading a book in a hammock.
Walking with a friend through the middle of nowhere without saying a word, enjoying the moment and having a picnic after a long walk.
Or just singing under shower.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: e.g. Calle 13, Manu Chao, Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder, Explosions in the Sky, Gustavo Santoalla, Tracy Chapman, Inti Illimani,, Prem Joshua, Perota Chingo, Zaz, Buena Vista Social Club, Yann Tiersen ... depends on the moment!

Books: true stories or good novels, e.g. A long way gone, The Kite Runner, Shantaram, Brave New World, 1984, Hermann Hesse, Milan Kundera and many more

I´m not watching a lot of movies, just every now and then with friends. I´m not a big science fiction fan. I´ve never seen Star Wars. A friend forced me to see all parts of Lord of the Rings, I fell asleep and don´t remember. (Yes, it´s true! I hope some of you still want to host me now.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Machu Picchu, the Andes, celebrating the Virgen del Carmen festival in Paucartambo, a trip to a secret Lagoon trough the moutains in the North of Argentina, Luxor, hitchhiking 8 days from Ecuador to Santiago de CHile sleeping at the back of a beer truck getting almost froozen in Victoria in the desert in 3000m altitude y MAS ;)

Walking a Puma in the Jungle, Being part of a group of Spider Monkeys and taking care of a Baby Ocelot.

The people I have met, are the wonders of my world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everytime open to learn new things

I´ll teach you all I know and even more! :)

I mostly really enjoy sharing stories or a bottle of wine :D
