About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seriously? I guess, having as much fun as possible!

When I'm in more ambitious mood, learning about holistic medicine, combining east and west, I can get passionate about it, but thanks god it never lasts...

ABOUT ME

First of all, please feel easy to send simple "copy and paste" requests. I imagine how time consuming it must be to send individual letters to every person and I'm sure you have other things to do!

Likewise, I try, but can't always answer individually, esp in high season (last summer with sometimes 10+ requests each day)

I am a medical doctor, quit my work in 2003 to travel around the world and learn about holistic healing, back since 2010 to finish my degree.

PHILOSOPHY

Oneness

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people from around the world, sharing, expanding, networking. There's nothing more valuable. Learning about other cultures, seeing the world through different eyes, I want to hear your truth, your stories, your dreams...

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm back in Berlin after 15 years and curious to rediscover this city together with you!

I love the exchange of ideas, experiences, our favourite stories, recipes and music!

I am a passionate cook and love veggies!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in the jungle and retrieving my lost love affair with Nature.

To work in a charity project in a remote nepalese mountain village.

Learning that healing is so much more than what I used to believe..

Teach, Learn, Share

Love to meet people of all cultures, exchange experiences, play music, expand horizon...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know how tiring it can be to look after guests all too much. So I am hoping to give as much as possible to keep the energy balance high up. Looking forward to help you in the house, to make it nice and relaxed, contribute to the fridge, give space when needed, maybe tell you some funny travel stories or play you one of my favourite songs...
