About Me

Hi,

I'm 26 years old and have been living in Germany for the last 5 years... so far, so good.
I love books ( Big, small, thin, heavy, hairy...) & arts in general, though I'm definitely not an artist. On my days-off, I enjoy taking it slowly, going for a walk, cycling around, taking pictures, meeting up with friends, I'm just trying to be a simple person.
oh, and I'm also rather sarcastic -not only when I sleep-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After having been a couchsurfer, I now have a place where I can host travellers.
I don't use Couchsurfing as a dating website and am not interested in tindersurfing.
Couchsurfing isn't about finding a free place to crash ( no freeloaders please) but more about sharing a moment together. All this to say that racism / homophobia / xenophobia/ religious bigotry / oppressive behaviours are definitely against the principle of couchsurfing itself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a bit of couchsurfing when I was in Canada and have been hosting since I settled down in Germany

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting through the canadian customs !
the Lofoten Islands in Norway were absolutely gorgeous, with the midnight sun !
Spending Christmas in Australia by 38° C. so hot that we had our christmas table set in a river,
Working with lamas by -20°C in Canada,
an amazing Sunset on Westport, Ireland,
Meeting a tree snake in my bathtub in Australia,
And the Bremen Christmas market
