About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sail for a great lot of time and eventually make it around the world

ABOUT ME

I'm a lively, openminded girl. I love to meet people and do spontaneous things. I'm always up to get to know new things, ways of life and philosophy. Currently I'm learning all about sailing, do my own experience together with my husband on our sailing boat and try every day to downsize the number of things we have in our apartment.
The environment is also very important to me, especially the oceans! So when consuming whatever it is I think about what effect it will have after I throw it away....

PHILOSOPHY

A day without laughing is a pretty sad day. so I try to smile, enjoy the very moment and not think about the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I loved the idea of couchsurfing from the very first moment. At the moment I'm working a lot and am busy the weekends. So there is little room for hosting right now.
I hope I can spread the spirit of couchsurfing by making people have positive experiences and get to know this nice thing.
I hope to have many further great experiences with CS!

The first time I couchsurfed was in Florianópolis, Brazil, where I stayed at Murilo's place. I had a very good time and got to know many wonderful people!!

That's what I love about it...getting to know people all over the world and experience a much better time than travelling without knowing anybody at the place you're staying.
There are so many places I'd never gotten to know without my hosts! Thank you guys!

Interests

I already did many kind of sports. I'm always trying something new and it looks like I just can't hold to only one because that would mean I would stop getting to know any of the others. I played Basketball for a couple of years, tried Capoeira and Aikido, during the winters I skied, I swim, when a pool is available do fitness, Zumba, Thai-Bo, hiking, biking and whatever sounds like being fun!
The latest activities I do are running, bouldering, sailing and windsurfing.

my latest passion though is sailing! I'm definetly holding on to it this time. It gives you a certain feeling of freedom, being on the water and moving just the direction and speed the wind wants.

I gave it a try with Buddhism, meditation, Yoga and Reiki
laughing, having fun, dance
cooking, having a good meal,make delicious cakes and deserts :)

all in all I think I'm a good mixture and I always try to get new thoughts, discuss them and maybe change my point of view.

I definitely want to make this world to be a place where everybody likes to be!

There's a lot of positive energy in this universe, we just need to know how to use it and stop taking it from other people.
