Description
I am a fun loving person, interested in meeting new people and knowing them. Doing adventure activities and exploring new places also excite me.

I love meeting people from other countries, listening to travel stories and learning about other cultures. In reality I'm not a talkitive person, but after meeting so many people from different backgrounds I've many Things now to talk about. I like long deep immersive conversations about life, spirituality and philosophical discussions. 😇

I have been using Couchsurfing since last 2 years for short term stays with hosts from different cultural backgrounds and like to hear their life experiences. It has been a wonderful experience till now and I've lived and hosted with around 20 hosts from different nationalities.

I go out every weekend for hiking with several others in Nordrhein Westfalen region of Germany, which is where I currently live. I try to go biking/mountain biking 🚴 as and when I find enthusiastic people around. I have recently discovered my interest for Kayaking and Canoeing 🚣. I am a registered paragliding pilot and wish to learn this sport further 🪂.

Horse riding 🐎, Sea Surfing, Scuba diving and Sky ☁ diving are few of the things I wish to learn in the near future...

Regularly doing yoga 🧘‍♀️, meditating 💭, eating healthy 🥗are a part of my daily routine to stay fit and try and enjoy every moment of life.

I stayed for one week with Oana, Adrian and Adrian's mother Nina and I really had a great time with them. I really felt as if I was at home and like I already know them since a long time. This was a great workaway experience for me. The work was so interesting and the lunch breaks were also amazing, so much that the entire day passed by very… read more

I stayed with George and Daniela for a week on their farm and I really had a great time with this wonderful family. Their farm is in a very beautiful landscape and I enjoyed the solitude and silence staying in nature in a tent at the berry farm where we worked during the day and relaxed during the evenings. I also met other Co-workawayers during… read more

He is an open hearted and funny person who loves to experience new workfields like handcrafting and getting big tree roots out of the ground :-D
He made very nice Indian food for us- that was really good and a big inspiration. In many ways a very supportive person, who seeks for the… read more

I helped Melina with some work for her tiny house and also helped Günther with other stuff around the site which included digging and cutting a tree branch, leveling the ground, moving the tyres of the big truck and so on.

I was provided with a bike to explore the… read more

We only had one week with Soumil, but it was great. Our project was building a hay feeding area for the horses. He had no experience working with all the tools, but he learned very fast and was really helpful for us. It is always the best for us, if someone ist open minded, interested and just trying out. He showed us how to cook some indian food… read more
