About Me

My work takes me places and vice versa. I love traveling and meeting people from different cultural backgrounds. I'm a sucker for nature and good stories. The sea makes me happy. If no sea available I take good food instead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started Couchsurfing when I was traveling in New Zealand and met some really nice people there. Whenever i'm home and not traveling I miss getting to meet people from all over the world on a daily basis. So I decided to make up for it by showing travelers from all over the world the city I live in and love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Still not decided what to put here. The things I've done in life feel so natural to me so it's hard to pick one and title it 'amazing'. Let's get together and talk, maybe you'll find something you learn about me amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you German, how to fold a paper boat and I make a mean pot of porridge. I'd love to learn to dance... and how to kajak.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cooking skills, a bottle of wine and a good laugh
