About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To be always positive and enjoy every little thing in life

*** Guys, I'm traveling at the moment and not in Munich! I will not be coming anytime soon so I cannot meet up! ***

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small village in the middle of nowhere, but I always knew that I would leave it at some point and go traveling around the world.

I left home when I was 18 without any money, with one suitcase and within 7 years managed to live in 10 countries, study at 3 Universities, learn 6 languages and graduate with a master in International Business.

I financed it all myself to prove that I am the ultimate self-made woman and that you can actually make it from rags to riches if you really want it.

I promised myself that I will keep living every year in a different country, or get a job that will allow me to travel all the time. Mission in progress!

Wherever I am, I get all my energy and drive from meeting new people and listening to their inspiring stories.
Maybe you are next to tell me yours! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Existentialism: the individual is solely responsible for giving his or her own life meaning and for living that life passionately and sincerely.
And that's what I do!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have traveled the whole Europe with CS. It helped me to find new people when I was moving to another country and I did not know anybody there. Besides this, I love having people around so I host pretty often as well. I am always happy to show around and hang out with my guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On CS I met many, many wonderful people and I keep in touch almost with all of them! The majority of my hosts and surfers became my very good friends. Some of the people I met here had a very strong impact on my life, and I owe a lot to some of them.
