About Me

I live on the countryside in northern Germany.
Not a lot of stuff is going on here, but sometimes I like the quiet. Just walking with my dog Bella and beeing surrounded by nature.🌿

I like traveling, like probably everyone here. :D
I just came back from 15months in NZ. What an amazing country! :)
My next adventure will be Australia for work & travel in fall 2024.
And one day I would love to travel in South Amercia.

I like trying local food and cooking vegetarian meals & baking sourdough bread.
German bread is something I miss the most during traveling. :D
Definitely prefer the countryside more than cities.
Love hiking, canoeing and camping. Interested in yoga, meditation, tiny houses and a sustainable lifestyle.

A few years ago I worked on a cruiseship. Pretty cool experience and I got the chance to visit many different countries. But not my lifestyle anymore.
I spend one year in Canada and felt in love with this country. 💚

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is great and gives you the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, to learn about new cultures, to explore cities, to taste local food and to exchange stories and great moments.

I met wonderful people during my travels and some of them are good friends now. :)

But don’t forget CS is not a dating App!
I just like to meet new people. That’s what traveling is for. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am professional in procrastination :D

I would love to speak and learn more French.
And I am interested in meditation and yoga.

If you come to Hamburg, you need to try a Franzbrötchen! :)
I can share my banana bread recipe with you.

Life is too short, eat the dessert first!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am glad if I can cook something for you.
We can also cook together and share a beer or wine or tea. :)

In general I am pretty clean, organized and easygoing.
A bit clumsy and not always on time..
If you wanna learn some German, I am up to teach you a bit.
