About Me

I'm currently travelling, so I can't host anyone for the time being.

I truly enjoy listening to other people's stories.

Travelling with my partner and 2-year old daughter is my greatest passion. Sometimes it's camping in the nearby forests and sometimes we venture a bit further. We have a middle-aged overweight dog from a dog shelter.

I love doing yoga, enjoy cooking (I'm a pescatarian), travelling in our old car, camping and reading books to myself and my daughter. Nature helps me restore my inner peace, but I still can't imagine moving out of town for good.

I have worked as an interpreter, a university teacher. I've also translated movies, co-produced an exhibition in Berlin. Teaching is my true passion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am really curious about other people and their ways of living. I like learning from others and being inspired by how different and how similar at the same time human beings can be. I also feel that travelling without meeting people on the way does not make much sense.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I'm a book worm. I read a lot of non-fiction, and once in a while indulge in fantasy books (Rothfuss, Pullman) and crime stories (Mannkell, Nesbo). I also like graphic novels (Delisle). My recent passion is psychology. I grew up reading Tolkien, Marquez, Rowling and Bulhakov.

Movies: Sundance / indie romantic comedies, TV series (Game of thrones, The Walking Dead, Pillars of the Earth, New Girl, Girls, Sherlock Holmes, Utopia, Stranger Things, Homeland, Luther)

Music: Feist, Noah and the Whale, the Fleet Foxes, the Mountain Goats, Babadag, Tracy Chapman, Queen, Micah P Hinson

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gave birth to a ittle human and went on a Balkan road-trip with her and my partner, when she was 6 months old.

What I Can Share with Hosts
