CURRENT MISSION

become fluent in french, having my own B&B

ABOUT ME

The most important thing about me? I LOVE my life! Sure, there are always things that can be improved but really, I think I have a great life! Originally from Berlin, Germany I haven't lived there since 2000 - instead I have lived in the USA, Hungary, The Netherlands and now Belgium. I am married - although my husband lives in the US and I am in Belgium. As most people on CS I travel a lot and really enjoy local(!) food and wine. I am very open minded and enjoy meeting and learning from other people. Right now I am trying to become fluent in french, which is not so easy in Brussels (everyone speaks english).
Lets see what else? I am a vegetarian but make rare exceptions when I think it might offend other cultures. I like to hang out in small bars with live music and practice Kung Fu. When it is not raining I also like to go running in the parc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Learning from other people and sharing my Brussels experience - as Brussels is one of those cities where you definitely need someone to show you the nice places!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
