About Me

Check my "MY HOME - What I can share" section, before you continue reading!
I will bring you out of your comfort zone, in a good way!, if you stay with me :D

CURRENT MISSION

Creating color splashes in a quite grey and boring environment

ABOUT ME

You usually find me at circus practice or in a park learning new tricks with my ropedart or juggling clubs.
I am pretty spontaneous and like to discover places I haven't seen before even though I have passed them many times.

If there happens to be a playground with slides, I am going to be the first one trying them out...

PHILOSOPHY

Embrace the change!
Change can hurt like hell, but I know nothingelse that is as fullfilling as setting yourself free from your self-made restrictions and striving to live to the fullest.

"Set your life on fire, seek those who fan your flames." - Rumi

"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." - John Muir

"Don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose." - C.S. Lewis

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I had the great opportunity to host some amazing people and also experience how it is to be a guest at other couchsurfers places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting, hosting, hosting and some surfing :D

I cherish all the experiences I had so far. With each person I hosted/ surfed with/ met through CS, I learned something new, learned to see things from different perspectives and got to know myself a little better!

Interests

ROPE DART & JUGGLING :D
Learning to spin fire and in general exploring new tricks is the thing that I enjoy most currently!
Finally I am getting back into playing Poi and I have recently discovered my love for juggling clubs :)
Let's create together, feel free to join me at circus trainings - they are for free!

Traveling (alone):
There is always personal growth going on, but when you travel on your own for a while it will speed this process up tremendously! I love how you always come back as a different person.

Dancing:
When I am in the right mood I can dance to almost everything :D
It got so crazy that I actually dislocated my kneecap at one point (unfortunatly during my stay in Ireland).

I used to take Salsa classes and I absolutaly LOVE it!

Nature:
I will stop for any bug, spider or other animal to find out what it is and take some pictures of it!

This lead to the one time I was patienlty waiting for two spiders to mate. Me sitting on the side of a path, eating an apple and staring at a bush, while getting weird looks from people who passed by.

Let me answer your burning questions:
YES I am aware of how creepy it sounds that I tried to film some spider porn :D
NO there is no video, since the female chased the male away...I am as disappointed as you are...

Painting/Drawing:
I had the pleasure to go to a life drawing session with a couchsurfer who stayed with me in 2018. It was an absolute blast sharing this experience with her. Because of it, both of us starting drawing again and I am more than happy about it.

As a side note, I am a vegetarian :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday I see amazing things that blow my mind...

When you become more aware of your surroundings and appreciate all the things and people you have in your life, there is no other way of putting it into words than:
Life is freaking awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

Share:
My weird passions for animals, including some strange facts :)

Teach:
Juggling :D
I can also show you some of my awesome dance moves, at your own risk!

Learn: Anything you feel worth sharing with me!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Obviously sharing my culture in some way and in general having long, deep talks about everything that comes to mind.

||Please do read my profile, this includes the second page -My Home- ! It prevents unpleasant surprises, in case you are allergic to cats or don't like the sleeping arrangements.

I am more likely to offer you a place to stay when I see that you are actually interested in meeting me and not just using me as a free hotel!

Be so kind and don't send a request for a couch you need in a month. I am quite busy with work and university and not also know my schedule so far ahead.||

Canada, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia
