Hey there, my name is Flo, a 23 year old and originally from Germany but living in sweet tiny Maastricht in the Netherlands as of now.

A gentle giant, a lover of being outside and embracing the seasons and aspiring to become more and more knowledgable in all things arts and culture related.

Currently I am on a quest to inquire more about what direction I want to head into in life and by which values I want to stand and how to enforce them within my everyday life. I am super interested in conversations about care and collectivist living, but also and especially getting to know others way of living, their aspirations and by which values they tackle the future.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I like seeing the world through other people's eyes (figuratively, very certain that metaphysically that is not possible) and I love being brought on paths and sucked into conversations of things I didn't even know about when meeting people with different life trajectories. Also there is something extraordinarily beautiful about meeting people in this in-between of ordinary living and moments of sharing good conversation.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

So much better when those anecdotes are shared face to face at the right time in the right context :)

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

What I can teach:

I dont really consider myself a master of any craft, I have been told that I am slightly (only slightly) funny and can thus amuse you with my humour! I am also a strong advocate for learning with each other, trying out things together, sharing ideas and having those conversations where just everything flows and you feel like you are rediscovering your understanding of space, time and the world around you.

I am a decent cook and would love to take effort of your hands by cooking a nice vegan/veggie dinner!
