Hi there,
last years CS gonna look more like a free hotel site.
People write me like they wanna make a room reservation, I don't think CS is made for that.
For me CS is a site where you meet people from different countries to have a good time together.
The free place to sleep is just a bonus.
I would like to host you, but I'm not a hotel.
So please sent me a mail about your trip, but don't forget to tell me why you would like to meet up.
And I'm sure we will have a nice meeting.

ABOUT ME

My name is Mandy, I'm 25 years old.
I live alone in a nice apartment.
I love animals, but I can't have pets because of my allergy.
So I'm a vegetarian, I love animals why should I kill them
I love music, being crazy with friends and trying new things.

Okay I gonna be honest with you, but I don't like to say everything om my profile.
But if you wanna know something feel free to ask, I don't care to talk about myself and I have no secrets for you (or almost not)
I have some physical restrictions,I have asthma and my lungs are pretty bad.
That makes me really tired all the time, so sometimes I need to rest a lot.
I have a wheelchair but I can walk a bit (even stairs) I only can't stand so long.
I usually walk, but when I'm going out I really need my wheelchair.
which means that when I walk to the store and back and in house I mostly don't need a wheelchair, but to concerts I need to sit.
After all I'm still a happy girl, and I like to have a lot of fun and do crazy things.
I think my sickness has a good part too, because I enjoy simple thinks more.
Like I said feel welcome to ask me what you want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling, and especially meeting new people.
If I have time I would like to host

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best CS experience till now was 4 weeks in Finland.
I met many, many, many nice people.
Nice host, new friend and good talks with strangers on the street.
Beside of that I met myself, I think the Finnish fresh air was good for me.

For me it was like a dream come true.
Lots of thank to all the beautiful people I met in those weeks.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
* Rock
especially the old ones

* Metal
I don't wanna hear a thing about slaying children or something like that.
Give me a good lyric and a sexy guitar, that is what makes me happy.

Movies:
* Horror
"how many are killed?" maybe not a normal demand of a cute girl ;)

* Thriller
The people how made that must be sick in there minds and ingenious at the same time.
But a good thriller gives you something to think about.

* Fantasy
For the easy days

* Real life drama
It's crazy what happens in the world.

*War
Okay it's a horror too of course, but this time in real live.
It interests me and I want to learn all about it.
From medieval till WWII and the war of today.

Books:
Sorry I don't read so much.
Like I said I love lyrics, so the books you get with a cd ? no not a real book but I read it ;)

And I read the Bible, and no I'm not a Christian.
It's more interest, and the stories are good to read.
And I'm open for any religion, so please tell me about yours.
For me is religion nothing more as a way to life, on a way you think it's good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think all my CS trips where great
