One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-crossing a very high rope bridge in the rain forest
- free climbing

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach german and french; I'm very good in cooking soups (I'm a soup freak); I can show you how to make german "Flammkuchen", and french Crêpes (learned originally in France:-)
Also I learned how to do georgian Chinkali and Khachapuri (but still improvable)

I would like to improve my guitar and singing skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am always up to show guests around the city, going to museums, concerts etc.
The host situation in our shared flat is not always easy. I can offer a room when one of my flatmates is on holiday for example.

I can share my guitar with you:-)
