I am an American living and working in Germany for almost 3 years now.
I love to read and write.
I like listening to all kinds of music - from Schubert to Rod Stewart and even today's stuff, I like it all.
I like to play tennis and run.
I have a slight obsession with coffee and red wines and almost always find both in my daily life.
I am an introvert who can be extroverted and perhaps more than I would like, I am an old soul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish traveling wasn't so commercialized even though I understand why.
I love the opportunity to meet people and to have genuine connections and conversations.
I fully expect to drink a beer, a glass of wine, or a coffee with each person I meet. So hopefully you are open to this as well.
