ABOUT ME

I am a passionate traveller. Ever since we left East Germany in 1986 I spent most of my money on plane tickets and my curiosity led me to many many beautiful places. I have been to 33 countries and yet there is so much more to see. I have an 8 year old daughter and I love showing her our beautiful planet and how people live in different places.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I have never tried couchsurfing but I hope to try it some time as I believe you get so much more out of a place by connecting with local People rather than staying in a hotel and doing the tourist thing.

Intereses

Healthy living, nutrition, travel, languages, photography, learning about different cultures. I love horseback riding, swimming, hiking.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

My childhood spent in communist East Germany living only 100m from THE WALL and how we managed to leave East Germany in 1986 (before the wall came down). Good things and bad things about living in a communist country.
