About Me

CURRENT MISSION

no special mission, just live

ABOUT ME

I am born in Germany with a Finnish mother and a German father. I have lived in different places in Germany and also some other countries. I am probably an "academic" person with interests in public life/ politics and languages/ cultures.

Currently, I am in search of a new "work field".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am answering to questions, which sometimes appear in my e-mail. If you need a place to stay in Potsdam, feel free to contact me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very positive. I found a friendly and relaxing place to stay in a small town in Finland. And I enjoyed very much having a cyclist as a guest. In Slovenia I joined a group of couchsurfers for a coffee & walk. And in my new WG (shared accomodation), I have had a couple of times the pleasure of being co-host for my roommate.
