About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Show people how to relax and let go in a down to earth way.

ABOUT ME

Next to my lovely job I like to play music on my violin and piano with all kinds musicians, just for the fun of it.

I speak German, English and French quite well and I am taking up Russian Language, which I have studied back in the '90s. I really like to talk to people from all over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment, every new moment is a gift. The only way to live freely is to follow the flow instead of resisting it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted some guests, by the time that my children lived 50% with me and 50% with their father. The last years I have no space to host, because my oldest daughter is permanently living with me.
Now she is on holiday until the 18th of July, so I can host travellers for 1-2 nights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some couch surfing guests and I did Airbnb some years ago. I have met a lot of people from all over the world. I like the exchange of ideas and thoughts and food and good vibes :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In fact it is an amazing meeting I have had: I ran into a cyclist with my car by a speed of 2 km p/h at the Java Eiland. I seemed more shocked than he was and luckily he just had one scratch at his hand and a broken wheel. The amazing thing was that we both said "Nice to meet you" before we parted.
