About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life. I feel life is too short to waste and we're only young once so why stay in onle boring little town?

ABOUT ME

I'm an open, easy-going and very talkative person. I'm from Zimbabwe but have been living in Germany for the last 9 years, one of them being in London. Hence I am fluently bilingual and would really love to improve my French and Spanish to a conversational level. I love meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, and cooking too. Have been taught curries by Indian people, and am eager to share my knowledge and learn new dishes.

PHILOSOPHY

Sieze and squeeze life, don't let it slip by and end up losing out. At the same time though, take it easy and enjoy life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I'm new to couchsurfing so I have no "track record" yet, but am very happy to share my home with others. Right now I live very close to Berlin (half an hour train from central station), and am 10 minutes from the station here in town. I have a spare guest room and a convertable double bed couch, so can put up 3 or 4 people. Nice ambiente, large garden too, and large 3D TV for those epic movie evenings ;-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Up till now I've been couchsurfing with members of our international church in e.g. Zürich. Now I'd like to open my home to couchsurfers and meet interesting people in cool places, so couchsurfing here I come!
