I'm not widely travelled, but I love discovering new places, just walking the streets aimlessly. I enjoy hiking and in Summer, swimming, or just staying in with a nice cup of tea and some music. I'm interested in literature, nature, philosophy, and history. I'm an okayish vegan cook (well, I can do about two and a half dishes, and I often let them burn ...) and I bake biscuits much too often. I love good books, music, and plants, small cinemas (of which Berlin has a lot!), and hearing people's life and travel stories. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was staying with my amazing friends in Aberdeen who were hosting several couchsurfers while I was there, and I met some great people and had some of the most interesting conversations of my life. I think travelling is so much better if you're not just a tourist but actually see places from different, less superficial, perspectives. And I've got a wonderful couch to share. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy share what I know about the city (as long as it's not about techno clubs), about literature, and the german legal system (in case you're interested), as well as vegan recipes and zero waste ideas (even just the possibilities to reuse coffee grounds are endless). Also, I've usually got plenty of food and tea to share.
I'd love to learn about gardening and identifying wild plants and I hope to be able to do more of both in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you German (or German law, if you're interested ...), drawing, and zero waste recipes (ever wondered what to do with all those coffee grounds?)
