About Me

Iam a single mother of two beautiful, intelligent, talented girls in the age of 15 and 17 and Iam a very kind and caring person. I am fairly easy going, have a quick wit and love to laugh about almost everything, but of course I can be serious too if it is necessary. I have a rather dry sense of humor.
Travelling and discovering the nature is my greatest passion. I am a water-lover too. I don't like it to rush from one destination or tourist attraction to another. I prefer to see new places, to meet new people and to explore new cultures in a way that’s not stressful, fatiguing and not bad for others. I want to be respectful of the locals and easier on the environment (and on my low budget as well.;). It’s more important for me to get to know one or two small area(s) well than to see only a drop of many different areas. So after each trip there will be for sure something left to see on the next trip. I like it to make new friends through traveling so we can experience many things together. I love to travel by bike (even if my friends are walking beside me:)). Actually I can't live without my bike. Going by bike is almost always my favored way to get from A to B. Btw. Iam a big fan of these trips "into the blue"! At least I try to avoid awkward small talk and to have real and deep conversations instead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like it very much to have guests and to talk with them about everybody and his dog.
I like it to make my guests feel welcome, comfortable and at home. I like it to share our daily life with them.
I like getting to know foreign cultures and hearing people's own stories.
Iam a curious person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

becoming a mother

to arrive totally drained and chilled to the bones in the middle of the night at a mountain hut in the polish giant mountains after a life-endangering hiking tour through metres deep snow on a closed path - to have a cup of tea and to get a warm and dry sleeping place finally.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some german and Berlin dialect:), swimming.....

Iam always very interested in learning something new from my guests for whatever it's worth.

We can share our family live with you, show you around in our city, guide you to our favorite places and to interesting locations you can't find in a guidebook.
we can do nice bike tours through or around Berlin together and a lot of other interesting things
