About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying life together with many persons around me!

ABOUT ME

My friends would describe me as social, taking initiative, adventurous. I like spontaneous outings or events, but usually I like to plan things well and I keep an administration of everything. This is out of free will, but sometimes it feels as my own obligation.
I love children, people with special needs and working with them. They sometimes teach me more than a professor can do. Their pleasure makes me so happy.
I love being active as I get bored quickly. I love doing different sport, playing (board)games, craft work, cooking and baking, organizing things and going to small festivals. I have been active in different associations, lately mainly in my student ice-skating associating.
What probably means the most for me is meeting people. Friends, or new people. After a nice conversation or social gathering I sing when I cycle home, this is living together.

PHILOSOPHY

I don’t believe in one destiny, but I do think many things means something and have a reason. Coincidences are most times not as coincidental as you would first say. I think everyone’s task in life is to discover their talent to strengthen others in some kind of way.

And for me its really important to be aware the world around me. Its me living there, but also many other people, animals, plants.. I think it is essential to take notice of this surrounding and the environment . I express this by being a vegetarian, by partly eating biological, by just respecting people and environment around me. And by enjoying it; there is so much to like and experience around us!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

More and more friends of me joined CS and told me their good experiences. On one hand its handy because its cheap, but on the other hand I think CS brings something really additional because you have the chance to experience the culture and exchange when you stay in someone’s home. Its a different way to get to know a place than you get to know a place when you stay with other tourists.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went CouchSurfing, in Belgrade and we had great experiences! It was really nice spending time together with our host the first nights and we played many games and went out together. Trough him as a local we could get to know the city different. The second host was also really nice. We didn't spend time together but this was also fine. He was very warm anyway.
These where my first experiences and since then I got some more, also good, experience.

Interests

So many things, thats why I studied Liberal Arts & Sciences (a bit of everything ;) ). In 2013 I finished my master degree Educational Psychology. Soon I will move to Austria for a year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't know.. I think sports could give me this amazing adrenaline and afterwards you feel so great.

Teach, Learn, Share

Through sharing you can learn the most. Teaching goes along with being enthusiastic and clear.
