Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i'll offer my couch, and get a couch in return?! j/ks
couchsurfing is a great opportunity to meet and get to know new people/cultures/traditions and languages

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

only amazingly good ones. no complaints or regrets at all. rather missing people too much after leaving! :)

Interests

i enjoy any kind of sports, such as hiking, rock-climbing, boxing, yoga, snowboarding, dancing, horse riding, surfing, running, talking my dog for a walk etc.
i also love building, painting and restructuring things, such as furniture, my flat or my car (i got an old 4x4 which i adore... :P))
i enjoy reading very much, cooking, music, literature, movies, going out and hanging out with friends
i am also into world politics, fighting for women rights and justice - there is so much injustice everywhere which is just not acceptable

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach german (if anybody needed to learn that language? :)) and english... also, i can teach you to cook some yummy, but only vegetarian/vegan dishes, plus if you are into snowboarding or about to learn it i could probably help you with that :) also, i am sort of a rock/indoor climber which i almost do on a regular basis - so if you need a belayer or if you wanna belay me, let me know :)
i really would LOVE to learn arabic, and french... and all the other cool languages... but i guess i am getting to old by now...??
besides that i am interested in anything, such as sports, languages or any other skills which might be useful ;) and i LOVE discussing politics. that's basically my life... ;)
