CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, go exploring, meet people, make new friends... I met an English bloke in New Zealand 8 years ago - in October 2013 I attended his wedding in Florida! This kind of friendship is great! Live the life of a true citizen of the world!

ABOUT ME

My best friend - a girl - would probably say I am a very open-minded, good-natured person. I am always helpful, respectful, up to most different kinds of fun and reliable. My colleagues at work would describe me as energetic, commited, creative.

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around. I believe in treating people respectfully.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host people once I am settled back in Germany.

If you host me, we will have good conversations, I might cook for you - if you want.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

By word of mouth I came across crashing opportunities. But couchsurfing is a different league!

Interests

First of all I'm very interested in the English language. I studied English at university and I take joy in using it. Going out to bars or clubs with friends and making new aquaintances there is what my weekends are made up of. If I feel I need some time off the world, I will sit down and watch a film or rather than that read a book. On Sundays mostly, I might be seen somewhere in the forests on a long walk, in a museum or in a faraway town doing some sightseeing.

I love good food - original Vietnamese, Indian, Thai, but of course also European cuisines and my mom's ;-)

Reading is fun, so is watching films, series, documentaries. I love hiking and take pleasure in meeting people from all over the worlds.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any list I might start here would be incomplete and unfair. I've read a lot of novels, watched a lot of films and series. I like stories that develop and leave characters space to grow - without being boring of course. Buuuut... a good film full of action is never bad :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw whales and turtles on a sailing boat tour through the White Sunday Islands. I worked with human Kiwis in road maintanance - lot's of jokes were cracked there. I saw romantic and real Cuba. I became and have ever since been a member of a Welsh/English family - I started as a tenant and left and returned and left again as the German son.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a certificate in teaching English and German as a foreign language, I know my general history. I've seen a fair share of Europe :-) and I know my region and neighbouring regions pretty well.
