CURRENT MISSION

I know who I am. Yet, I constantly rediscover myself, especially in contact with new people.
Jobwise, I still have to find a place in the world, where I, with my own given gifts such as I am, can contribute to a greater cause, just be happy, or all at once.

ABOUT ME

Oooh...
so, let's do that!

I enjoy being surrounded by open-minded individuals who carry a spark of uniqueness. It's wonderful to meet new people and either influence them or let them influence you... Others can provide a different perspective on things.

Some people think I'm odd because I like wearing suspenders, appreciate things from different eras, smoke a pipe at my age, or, as a person perceived as female, enjoy comics and other nerdy stuff. I'm a weird mix of super honest, direct, and shy. I guess I'm a bit of a nerd. But as for me, I embrace that part because it's about showing passion for something and sharing it with others. Like for the environment. Or human rights.

It might take time to get to know me because I can be a bit cautious, but through the silliest things, interests, or commonalities, I can open up so easily that it might be scary.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just now I do participate only by offering my free time and humble services as guide through town. But maybe soon I will be able to offer a couch as well=)

Interessen

I like a lot of stuff. I care about the environment, so I do also spend a lot of time in nature. Not always that active. Sometimes just enjoying it by reading a good book leaning against a tree. I go to concerts or the theatre (if I have the money), like playing games (parlour games, board games, video games, ...). I like cooking with friends, but I'm not extremely good at it. I can't deny being somewhat of a big consumer by reading books or watching movies and series (or loving to eat). Also I like to go out, but I enjoy rather a nice pint of beer or a cup of coffee at a bar than party all night long. Still, it depends on the music!
I love getting to know about different cultures and how they got there - the history. Not just out of books^^
I love melodic and rythmic music, lyrics shouldn't be too bad either.
