About Me

Hey there. I'm a laid-back and generally cheerful person. Usually I feel very comfortable with new people and enjoy diving into their microcosm.

It's hard to keep me indoors when the sun's out and when it's not, I'll still find a good reason to socialize.

But every now and then I also need my moments of contemplation and solitary walks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend of mine told me about a similar project years ago (Hospitality Club - remember that one?) and once I had my first couchsurfing experience, it became addictive in a way.
I've been out of the game for a while now though and just recently updated my account.

Interests

The pandemic made me realise what I missed the most: seeing my besties and my family, going to festivals and concerts and to DANCE.

If it's not cold and wet outside I love outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and biking (not uphill though ^^). I spend quite some time cooking - it's relaxing to me. Plus I find it very rewarding, because I looove eating. Also: beer. Yum!

Music, Movies, and Books

Gioconda Belli is my favorite author. Aside from that I'm pretty inconsistent and open to suggestions.

Music-wise, anything with a lot of bass and a good feel for rhythm sets me in motion, inside and out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Where to begin. Just ask me and I probably won't stop babbling about it!

Teach, Learn, Share

There's lots I still want to learn. Beginning with languages, playing instruments (ukulele, cajón, drums, bass...), dance styles, new recipes...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can hula hoop. Well, kind of... I'm still learning myself, even after years of practice. But whatever trick I know that you don't, I'll happily share it with you!
