ABOUT ME

I am an openminded person who loves dancing, reading, swimming, traveling and hanging out with friends. I studied social sciences in Cologne and work now as a German teacher and besides I teach yoga. I love languages. But if i had to choose, french is my first love.
After my graduation i spent 6 months in West-Africa, in Togo, where i learned to love the african french accent wich makes me smile and feel good every time i have the chance to listen to it.
Cologne is my chosen home and favourite town in Germany for now. But not forever i guess. I am still curious to explore other places, near or far away and get to know diffrent kind of people, culture and mentality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great opportunity to get in touch with different kind of people all over the world. One time it´s you who makes a present by hosting someone and the next time you are the one enjoying the gift of being hosted. I simply like the idea behind it.
Besides you get a closer impression of the city or country you are visiting when you´re staying with a local instead of being in a hostel or in a guesthouse.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open-minded and curious. I am a smooth person and a good listener. I can share my way of looking and doing things. When i have the time i can show you this beautiful city and give you some advice where to see some nice corners of the city. I share my home and my coffee times with you and hopefully you tell me more about you and your journey.

the only constant in life is change
