ABOUT ME

I´m Dorothee and on tour since mid of April 2013.

Canada was my first destination and I was traveling and working here for about 10 month. It was quite an experience. I had hardly any English skills at the beginning of my travels and now I think it´s much better.

My journey started on Vancouver Island (6 weeks on Metchosin Farm as WOOFer), through BC with my camper van. Then I was working as dishwasher, housekeeper, preppcook and server in 3Valley Gap near Revelstoke for 3 month. In October and November I traveled to the other side of Canada by car. That was quite an experience and I was pretty excited about that. I saw a lot of different areas and amazing landscapes. That was the most beautiful part for me. I met people from all different countries and learned a lot about the different cultures. After a meditation course in Quebec I went back to the Rockies. And since the beginning of December I´m working as a server in a hotel.

Even I´m here only for a few months, I bought a sewing machine and borrowed a guitar. I also like to read a lot and I love to communicate with people. My camera travels always with me as you see on my many pictures.

I´m 28 years old and my home destination is Germany, about 1,5h southeast from Stuttgart. We call it the swabian alb. I hope to meet amazing people during my travels and also to learn more about the different cultures and countries.

See you, Dorothee :-)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best couchsurfing experience was in Peterborough - Ontario - Canada. I booked the day before a hostel. Some hostel give you for the booking only the area and if they get the 10% booking money you get the adress. So I was not surprised as I didn´t had the adress and went to Peterborough with the greyhound bus. I went to a small coffeebar and drank a hot chocolate as I checked my e-mails. I didn´t got the adress of the hostel. Ever. A girl beside me was talking to me and during the next two hours she was calling some friends and where asking them where I could sleep. It endet that I was meeting a lot of her friends and slept two nights at a friends place. - Wow. There are really amazing people in that world.
