Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to offer my fold-out couch or sometimes a spare room in Berlin...now you can come and surf our spare bed in Hannover. Of course I also surfed some couches across Europe and in the States and convinced some friends to join as well ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak "Plattdeutsch" - the low german dialect spoken at least since the 16th century in the north of Germany (the language of the Hanse, once upon a time). Today only about 5 Million people in Germany and the Netherlands speak it - mostly farmers or folks from small villages know it. Here is your chance to be one of them ;)
