About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, enjoy, grow

ABOUT ME

I live in Hamburg, Germany!

I grew up in Southern Germany and moved to the North a long time ago with my family. My Mother is British, my Grandfather was Polish, and I spent a year in Hungary on exchange - I've heard people say I'm a cosmopolitan a lot of times, so I guess that's what I am ^^

I have the highest goals but I am pragmatic and down-to-earth. Friends would describe me as funny and cool to hang with, but also as a person you can have great conversations with and someone to talk to about your problems.

I make a lot of jokes all day and try to be funny, sometimes very succesful, sometimes... not. I'm always in a good mood and I love talking to people and listening to their stories.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a gift. Live it, appreciate it, promote it - because it is finite.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Belgium in October 2009:
Went there for a weekend, and just loved it! We gave free hugs in Brugge, we had hosts that were really, really kind in Gent and Brussels, and we got to know the couchsurfing communities there...

Israel April 2014:
Stayed with different hosts for 2-3 nights each, was a great overall experience! So many memories, conversations, people, places, pictures... Still digesting :)

Hamburg 2014 - ???:
Currently connecting to the couchsurfing community in Hamburg, going to meetings etc... Didn't know it was that big here!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent one night in a cold shed on the top of the Brocken Mountain, Germany. When we woke up the wind was blowing a reddish, fast-paced fog over our heads. When we descended the fog was gone and we got to see the most amazing sunrise.

Went to Israel for two weeks in 2014, had a great time couchsurfing and meeting new people. Loved the desert!
