About Me

▪️Please note: we are expecting a baby in February 2019 :) therefore we won't accept any requests from February on. But you are welcome to try january!▪️

I am an adventurous yet simple person. I prefer mountains over the sea. A tent over a hotelroom. Black over colours. Sweet over salt. Rough weather and landscape over sunny beaches. Cats over dogs. Being spontaneous over pre-planned trips. Yet I like coffee and tea, beer and wine. My favourite accessory is the smile on my face.

My travels took me to many different countries in many different ways. Travelling by train, plane, hippie van or feet, in a group, alone or with my boyfriend, low budget and mid budget, mountains and sea - and I'd love to share these experiences with you!

I moved to Norway in 2016 to live together with my boyfriend. Here I also started the first job after my studies. Exciting but it means also less time for travels. Hosting is our way to keep exploring other cultures and get inspiration.

In my freetime I'm surrounded by music. I love to listen to music and see concerts, even if I don't know the band which is playing. By myself I play guitar and bass guitar. Before I moved to Norway I played with a German melodic metal band. If you are interested, check out the music:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like talking to people from everywhere, making friends and learning new things. I hosted more often than I surfed and every single surfer managed to brighten up my day in a different way. Geting inside views of different lifestyles and opinions is a great way of keeping the mind open and free.
I like to connect with the people I host. That's why I usually don't host when we are super busy anyway. Don't send me a request like 'I only need a little bit of space on the floor' - then I feel more used than appreciated.

Interests

- music music music - it is and it always has been a huge part of me. If it is playing guitar or bass by myself, with my band or seeing great concerts, it's all fun!
- sports - running, cycling, hiking, being active outdoors

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm very open to nearly all kind of music genre, but my playlists at home contain a lot of metal bands, such as Equilibrium, Wintersun, Insomnium, Avenged Sevenfold, Metallica, Nightwish, Arch Enemy, Kvelertak and a lot more. Then I also like to listen to (indie/stoned)rock bands like Pink Floyd, Black Keys, Jack White, Cage the Elephant, Kings of Leon, Mumford & Sons, Florence & the machine and so on. Plus you will also find stuff like Passenger, The Kin, Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard, Boy, etc on my playlists.
Movies: ok that's not really my topic.
Books: I read quite a lot, at least when I'm on holidays. I like the classical criminal books but also science-fiction books when they're about criticizing society and stuff. I really enjoyed "The Circle", highly recommended!
