CURRENT MISSION

discovering new paths and walking them

ABOUT ME

I encounter my life open-minded, with big eyes, a warm heart and a smile on my face. I like learning from people I meet, be inspired by stories they have to tell. At the same time I like inspiring others. I listen. I try to "walk a mile in her or his shoes" and try to understand. For me, this is important to let communication take place. Respect and Honesty as well.
I love cooking, invite friends for the food, find the suitable wine and music for it. When people around me are happy I am happy too.
I love laughing, am cheerful and curious. My path that lead me to couchsurfing let me met wonderful people so far. I am curious for next ones;)

PHILOSOPHY

"The universe is made of stories not of atoms."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By surfing couches, by meeting people for what ever and by hosting whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During one week in July 2010, in which I wanted to get to know Newcastle and to find a place to live for my upcoming master studies, I made my first two cs experiences.One was planned, one was spontaneous. I found it just gorgeous. Each of the guys I was staying with gave me very special insights to the city and to their personal way of living there as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw the Brass ensemble of the Simón Bolivar Orquesta Juvenil de Venezuela in London. The atmosphere they created in the Kings hall can not be put into words....it was overwhelming! Music has so much power and love that catches people and certainly goes beyond language. Que maravillosa!
