Overview
About Me
Sorry guys, I cannot host you at the moment! But I'll be back in October!
ABOUT ME:
In Febuary 2013 I graduated in Japanese studies and political sciences. Now I'm a freelancer, teaching German as a foreign language and working for a publishing house connected to foreign language teaching as well. I like doing different things because I get bored without some variation in my work.
Being a freelancer requires a lot of optimism and self-organisation, but I love organizing my working time as I wish, being my own boss, not having to work in an office... and of course helping people and enjoying the work.
I can be pensive and interested in many serious things, but I like laughing, day-dreaming, enjoying the little things in life as well ;)
I'm living with my boyfriend, so be sure to check out his profile as well: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/hendrik.beeh
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm a conservative CS member. I still hold up to the idea that the main CS goal is MEETING PEOPLE. I have been a surfer myself so I know how surfers feel. Of course, it is time consuming to go through the profiles in detail. Of course, not only the people but saving money is an incentive as well. But after all you're still a stranger asking to stay in a private appartement.
I really really understand the financial aspect, but for me it is the basic CS politeness trying to meet people and talk to people.
