About Me

When I am not travelling...
... you find me in Hanover (the capital city of Lower Saxony, Germany).
I rent a nice city-apartment in a calm & green, yet central, district together with my husband.
Since I am a language-teacher for German language, multilingualism and language learning are an integral part of my everyday-life. Furthermore I love to be outside, either on my bike or while horse-riding, like to swim, spend time with friends and family or relax with a good book in the park.
What I dislike the most is: boredom (that's why I always try to make new experiences).

When I am travelling...
...you find me preferably in places, that are not too touristy and offer a good mix of nature and culture.
The most interesting for me are always the language and food (all that the vegetarian cuisine offers).
In the last years I have often stayed with host-families all over the world or did voluntary services. I was always delighted, when I could spend my time abroad not only with dear new friends but also with animals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As everyone else here (I suppose), I love to travel!
I hope that couchsurfing helps me to meet new people, get insights of different countries, cities, languages and turns my journeys from normal holiday into something very unique and special.
Looking forward :)
