ABOUT ME

I'm a open minded and easy going person... I like to meet new people all the time... and of corse why not host them in Paris if I have time!
I'm European, and convinced about the famous European idea with all its cultures, languages and habits. It's so fantastic to share all this together... and of course couchsurfing is one possibility to do this even with people all over the world. Originally from Germany and now since 17 years in France...

PHILOSOPHY

Discover life and the world!
