ABOUT ME

I'm Lisa and I'm 28. I have studied French and linguistic for 6 years, then went on the Way of St James. Afterwards, I worked on a vegetable farm for a year, and then as a German teacher for half a year. Then I married and actually my name is Lisa Schermann now (I don't know how to change my name in the profile!) and moved to the UK to study the Bible at a College for a year with my husband. I would describe myself as an extrovert person, my husband is more shy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I did Couchsurfing in Skandinavia and some years ago in Italy and loved it and think its such a great idea! When I wasn't married yet and lived still with my parents, I also hosted. Right now, I cannot host because we live in the dorm of our College.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did some couchsurfing in Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Italy.

Interests

I love learning languages! My husband and I love travelling, long distance hiking and snorkeling, we can't have enough of it. I'm also very interested in music- Classic, Jazz and alternative music are my favourites. I'm always happy to meet new people, because I like people :-D I also love gardening, growing my own vegetables, making tea, jam and juice from homegrown stuff.
