About Me

CURRENT MISSION
to live in the present moment

ABOUT ME
I would describe myself as an empathic, open minded and happy person who enjoys beeing sourrounded by nice people and likes to meet new people. I've made great experience with CS during my internship in Bolivia where I made many lokal friends. I like to go out and dance with good music and I confess to be a big fan of Latin America (Culture, Music, People, Countries...everything)

PHILOSOPHY
Try to follow your own path and withstand the influencing voices of others who might have a different destination.
Give always your best, especially in creating the way you want to live your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives you the opportunity to be a traveler instead of being a tourist. I like to visit new places where I get in touch with local people and feel like visiting friends. On the other hand you can give back the same opportunity to travelers who come to your place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
All my experiences have been very positive. Years ago at the very beginning, I had doubts about doing CS, but in the end it turned out to be even better than expected. It is just a great community where you can feel at home even you're far away.

Interests

I enjoy beeing with nice people and friends and having a beer. In summer I love to play Beach Volleyball and on hollidays to go surfing. I like to dance at parties, the best for me with latin music (sorry also including raggaeton ;-) )
I enjoy to cook for and with friends and I'm intrested in countrys where the sun shines more then in germany :-P I always try to spend as much time as possible outside as soon as I see a sunray. Parties or other informal events it is also where I mostly like to speak with people in different languages like spanish, portuguese, italian or english. Last but not least I would mention my old Volkswagen camper van as one of my interests as it requires somtimes quite a lot of attention to be ready for fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Quentin Tarantino is one of my favourite film directors.
One movie that astonished me was "tambien la lluvia"

Currently I pretty much like reading Paolo Coelho

I can listen to many types of music depending on mood and occasion, but friends would say I'm crazy about latin music. But also there depending on the mood if its more cumbia, salsa, latin pop or raggeton. I also like Brazilian music like Forró

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of the time spontaneous things like roadtrips or hollidays with friends which turned out to be just amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I realy like to learn anything new. Whatever you can show me will make me happy :-) Maybe you just want to show me how you see the world.
If you want I can teach you the basics of some latin dances or I can show you how to make a very tasty Mojito... If you are lucky I may introduce you to the secret of making the world best Tiramisu ;-)
