Hello everyone, my name is Elaine and I am currently living in Germany. I have been here for almost 5 years. Before moving to Germany I lived in America for ten years. Since moving to Germany I have travelled a lot and couchsurfed quite a bit too. I love meeting new people and I think the best way to experience a new area is through locals that can show you the best places to eat and show you sites that is off the beaten path. The best way to experience a new place is through local food and even better if I can learn to cook a local dish with someone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience new places through the eyes of someone that understands the heartbeat of where they live.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, especially jazz. I read whatever come recommended through word of mouth...not too avid with the movies but I like movies that are unpredictable

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cage diving with great white sharks. I am a nurse, sometimes amazing things are as simple as holding someone's hand.

Deleted my facebook....what a freeing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me how to cook, I will teach you how to cook South African food. I would really like to improve my language skills and would love to learn from you. I can teach you how to do CPR or how to ride a horse. Even better if we can share a horse ride together. I can also teach you some basic ball room or salsa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Whatever you want. We can sample beers, wine or food. I can sing you a song or we can both read a book before we meet and talk about the contents. I am not hosting at the moment but I would love to meet up for a drink, coffee or dinner and talk about our experiences.
