Hi everyone,

It happened more than once that people think my name is a male name - never met a male person called Berit, so I'm absolutly sure its female ;-) Im from Germany, growing up in the western part near Düsseldorf/ Cologne. After my school exam I moved to Sweden, working as an au-pair in a swedish family. Scandinavia, especially Sweden, became like a second home for me - the countryside, the language and the way of living. During my studies to a primary school teacher in Bavaria, Southern Germany, I spend another in Sweden.

I'm an open-minded person who talks very fast - too fast sometimes if you believe my friends ;-) - but I'm also good in listening :D I love living in shared flats, cooking and spend time together.

Most of the time I'm vegetarian and trying to live a sustainible life without plastic or any other packing, as well as travelling in a conscious way.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

There is no better chance to get to know a country and a city in all its details than meeting people from that place. I like sharing stories, getting to know all the favourite places someone has and get to know new people and cultures.

Musik, Filme und Bücher

At the moment I'm into indie, folk and classical music.
As a new part of the netflix community I started to watch series like "Dark" or "Bron"/ "The Bridge".
Reading was and is still a part of life - growing up with a family bookshop.
