CURRENT MISSION

fresh brain open mind

ABOUT ME

I try to have the most fun in my time of life. I love travelling and i have the passion to communicate and find interesting people. I like to go out, but also to stay home and hang around. I love the sun and warm weather. Doing Sports, like running, swimming, cycling, ... is a must for me, so not every day. 4 weeks without sports is nearly never happening. I like to smile and to have jokes with people i am meeting. :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I want to be happy, and communication is one of the best things in life.
I travel mostly cheap. I dont want to spend too much money on expensive trips, but to see the most of the world in the time i have. :-)
I believe if everybody does something good for another person, the world will be a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to meet people through couchsurfing when I am in new cities and places. I had so nive experiences with CS that i have to say it is one of the best things in my travelling culture. When I am somewhere in a foreign country, not understanding the language etc., i love to have somebody with me who shows me around, meet friends and so on

Interests

I like to go out dancing and to go on music festivals in summer time. Staying for a couple of days in the nature with my tent, meeting other people and spending the day talking and having fun. In the past I had several different old camping vans and I love also this way of travelling.
In the everyday life I am spending my time meeting people, cooking, running, swimming, laughing, photograping, wintertimes: watching movies
In my vacations I like to travel, mostly warm places. I love to travel long distance with my bicycle.

Since i was a kid I always dreamt of travelling longer periods. Then i realized that you dont have to have everything arranged before starting but that through travelling the experiences lead you to your destinations.
