CURRENT MISSION

My missions are mostly simultaneous while there are many levels of the same life so I can say that I feel quite occupied with many thoughts.

ABOUT ME

My name is Hermīne (the "i" is pronounced longer) and I am a free soul who is with both feet on the ground but likes to keep her head in the clouds.

Friendly, creative, spontaneous, carefree

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever happens stay calm and do your best

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cycled from Riga (LV) to Brussels in 2014 and couchsurfed on my way as well.

In the summer/autumn/winter of 2017 I hosted on the river Moselle's right bank in Cochem, Germany

In 2018 found some amazing hosts in India as well!
