ABOUT ME
After I've spent the last 10 years moving around, shifting houses and places to study and find a job I love, I now settled in Cologne, where I work for a small booking agency, specialized in comedy and stand up shows.
I'm coming from the western boarder of Germany, growing up right between the "Ruhrpott" and the "Rheinland", where my home and my heart is.
But how Genesis have put it I found a "second home by the sea", spending some years in Flensburg and Kiel and even tried to settle in further south in Stuttgart.
Since my highschool exchange to Australia in 2003 I'm in love with the world downunder, seeking any chance to go back to catch up with family and friends overseas!
I never give up on facing life open minded and with free spirits. I love to meet friends and family, going out and see the world. I also would never reject a glass of wine or a cold beer in good company ;)
PHILOSOPHY
If you do not sleep and eat, you'll die - I value both.
If you are going through hell, keep going!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I would love to meet new friends from all over the world, and couch surfing seems to be a wonderful way to connect people of all kinds.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests
As a specialist for birthday cakes, I love spending time in the kitchen, baking , cooking and trying all different kind of recepies for friends and family.
As a former student of literature, films and music - guess what? - I spend quite a lot of time with music, films and books. last year I started to learn playing the guitar and I enjoy singing along, as well as singing in the car as good as in the shower ;)
On weekends I like spending time with my friends, playing board games or once it stopped raining take everything outside to relax on the beach or down at the harbour.
