CURRENT MISSION

Don´t panic (never ever)

ABOUT ME

I´m a mother of four grown-up children, and have worked in several different positions so long. - As for making money, I´m rather unsuccessful.
I live in a crazy house of my own - at the moment there is work in progress - for the last ten years - but I will succeed!
Generally I am always busy, somehow my agenda seems to be quite empty ten days ahead, but is filling with an incredible speed on short notice. So if you want to surf my couch, I will block all those empty moments for you.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing for me is to continue learning. If I listen close enough, I can learn from every person that exists. I also like to pass on my knowledge or exchange or minge it with others: by tourist guiding, discussions, writing books,....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfing couches, hosting travellers, telling others about CS

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I travelled through eastern Europe, while it still existed, i.e. before 1989. As a person from the west (which was very interesting) I was continually invited to stay at peoples private homes. So if you are from eastern Europe, feel yourself especially welcome!
