About Me

Hey Surfers & Hosts!

Since July 2024 I‘ve been on educational leave after working in international (development) cooperation and education for the last couple of years. So, finally back on the road again :)

I‘m veggie and into decolonizing global structures and interested in sustainability issues. I try to be a respectful person (especially concerning everybody's choice of lifestyle), and appreciate a good portion of respect, thoughtfulness & tolerance of everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy getting to know other people, their lifestyles, values and culture a bit everywhere in the world. For me it makes a huge difference and renders travelling much more valuable if I have personal encounters & can get a glimpse of local peoples lives & attitudes.

Why I'm NOT on Couchsurfing: for tinder, use tinder ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to read and listen to/make music.
My knowledge on netflix or youtube is super limited, so don‘t expect enriching conversations on that ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is generally an amazing thing to me

Teach, Learn, Share

Let’s share conversations, time and food ☀️
I‘m happy to help you with creative and garden work, sewing basics, piano or gituar and cook with you and love other languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, stories from different parts of the world, knowledge about beekeeping, guitar & piano, laughter and good mood... I like cooking, so I am happy to cook for you ;)
