I have been to many places by myself like Crete or places in the Netherlands like the island of Texel and the cities Amsterdam, Utrecht and Paris. I studied german, english and american literature. I like the slow way of travelling. I like to walk around, be at a coffee house and take it slow instead of seeing all the sights. I can host one person. I live in a one room appartment but it is possible to sleep on a mattress in the kitchen. You would be first for coffee in the morning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I very much like the idea of making travelling possible if one doesn't have much money. Also in a foreign place it's nice to be with people who are familiar with it.

Interests

I enjoy sports like running and swimming which I do regulary, have a fascination for mosaics: I enjoy seeing mosaics and like to create them myself, too and I like writing stories. I'm also very interested in obsacles in a society, which means issues like discrimination or equality in many different ways.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to India for some months to work there as a teacher. It turned out to be a very inspiring time. I taught second and third graders english and maths. On my days off I travelled to places nearby like Amritsar with its Golden Temple.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach German and English, I'm good with kids, too. If you are planning to rearrange your appartment I can give advice. I have read some books about feng shui and rearranged my place according to some of its principles. Otherwise, I'm really very kind. I can tell you a lot about Berlin and how it is to live here.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my fascination for literature. I can share my experiences in India, where I lived for almost half a year, and the United States, where I lived for one year.
