Overview
About Me
Hey there! :)
I've been told a few times now that I don't seem German at all. I'm pretty happy about that but I guess it is debatable if it is a good thing or not.
I can be very cynical and sarcastic, love to joke around and talk about random things. I am always a bit torn between going out and find adventures day to day and just staying in bed and give my attention to ficitonal worlds that I am addicted to. But at the end of the day if you make me choose, I'd always do something I've never done before and go out and see the world. Travelling is just the best thing ever. (I guess I don't really have to say this on here...) I've always loved it, since I was a little kid. I was lucky enough to be daughter of parents who love to travel as well and took me on my first vacation when I wasn't even a year old.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think it is a great way to meet new people and stay in different places and see them through someone else's eyes. I haven't been properly "couchsurfing" yet but I know what it's like to be a guest in someone's house that you don't know and I find it essential (not just as a guest) to be polite and helpful. I am also a very neat and tidy person in general, so that might be a plus (maybe?) ...

Teach, Learn, Share
I have to admit - I don't have any crazy talents and I'm not destined to be a teacher but whatever it is that I could pass on, I will give it a try! I know how to unicycle, do a handstand and how to bake an amzing marble cake.
I'm always interested in learning new things and sharing stories, ideas and dreams with others. So on that side I am not limited! :)
What I Can Share with Hosts
A lot of crazy opinions and funny things I've seen/read on the internet, a few words in a few languages, my dreams about travelling and my "let's bake/make something"-moods.
I'd also gladly lend a hand and help out if I can :)
