CURRENT MISSION

I worked as a Fundraising Manager since September 2013, trying to raise money and networking for NGO/sNPOs, hoping to create a better world this way. I'm retired now. Not to bad☺ .

ABOUT ME

I always loved to travel and already do, but also like staying at home, look after my garden, read a book or serving guests, and of cause: watching TV.
I guess, I'm open minded - but after all this years ... sometimes I'm a bit impatient with others. Sorry but I'm running out of time.

PHILOSOPHY

let it be. But also try hard to become who you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What can I say? Nothing realy amazing. Sometimes having fun, sometimes not ..., reading, writing, sleeping, working, cooking, feeding my cat, troubleshoting ... just living a normal but even a good life, I guess.

Teach, Learn, Share

If guests from out of germany want to, I would love to teach some German. I'm a nativespeaker. On the other hand I need to refresh my English - so it could be a win-win-situation!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook a german dinner for my hosts, showing how good and even suprising it can taste - if there is no trouble in the kitchen :~ )
