About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel all over, under, and around the globe. Meet inspiring people and share your stories. Make a memory and enjoy who you are.

ABOUT ME

I just love travelling so badly and I hope to see all the beauty on this planet before I die. Mountainbiking, hiking and swimming are my leisures, ice cream, pizza and too much photographing/interviewing arguably my sins. Friends say I am highly outspoken and opinionated; I think this is fine! If you want to surf my violet couch, beware of colourful surroundings and some good German beer. Prost!

PHILOSOPHY

If everybody pulled into the same direction, the world would topple over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted people from around the world in my tiny one beedrom-apptm and have always enjoyed it a whole lot. Unfortunately, I cannot host more than one person per night at the moment. I do my best to make my guests feel comfortable and happily offer them a city tour, joint cooking, and, if time and weather permits, outdoor fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Exclusively positive! (Both as host and surfer)

Interests

Good books, smart ideas, great food, MTB, deserts, ghost towns, photography, rockabilly and gothic couture, Garfield comics...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My 6 day-tour through the Vale of Mowbray, North Riding, Yorkshire, on a juvenile bicycle with minimum luggage and absolutely no clue where the heck I would end up - same business every night :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd really like to learn how to sew one's own robes.
I can teach German as a foreign language and share my knowledge of British and American Studies as well as history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Just myself - the full package of bubbly, chaotic, hoggish, flamboyant me.

Countries I’ve Visited
