I just moved to Germany as of 7.5.20 to get in touch with my German roots. My German is shamefully limited. I am studying daily and learning as much as possible! Would love to hangout with someone trying to learn English to try and help one another improve our non-native tongues!

Perspective, understanding and experience is what drives me in life. Obviously we all love to travel here but really I enjoy couchsurfing for the sense of a greater community we all are part of. I love cooking, bicycling, rock climbing, photography, live music, motorcycling, urban exploring, general adventures, drinking, dancing, making cocktails, thrifting/flea marketing (used professionally appraisal antiques), making new friends and seeing old friends on the other side of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently: moving/just moved to Germany with pretty limited connections in my area. Looking for open minded people to connect with!

in the past: looking for connections with people, either while traveling or to enjoy the experiences of other if/when I am tied down by work.

Teach, Learn, Share

-Anytime I think lesser of someone because of an opinion they have, I truly do not understand them.

-Wealth breeds inequality.

-Curiosity is the most beautiful trait.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My local experience, a home cooked meal, a few drinks, a motorcycle ride and a very keen ear to listen.
