About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a German (as a foreign language), French and Geography teacher from Berlin, Germany. I live around 45 minutes away from the city center and cool areas like Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain by public transport. I have a bus stop in front of my house to get to closest subway (U+S-Bahn).
So far I have lived in Switzerland, France and Paraguay. I am an easy going person, patient and tolerant. I like to chill with friends and to meet new people from all over the world.
I am vegetarian (/vegan, but I don't want to complicate things especially when I am invited or traveling), but I am totally fine with people eating meat around me.

As a host, I can provide sheets and towels. I don't drink coffee, but I have a coffee maker. Feel free to use it!
Feel also free (based on past guests): to smoke outside, to make your bed, to clean your dishes (with dish liquid) and to put trash in the trash can... THANK YOU! I am a huge fan of: leaving things looking, the way they were when you started!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in coincidences.
Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people from around the world and to share intercultural/travel experiences.

Interests

I like meeting new people, learn about other cultures and learn new languages :) I like sports, I play tennis and I go for walks. I recently started dancing Salsa and Bachata. I love to travel and see new places. I also like music, although techno/electro (I know it is hard to believe since I am a Berliner) and hip hop aren't really my thing. I also like to spend time with my family and friends (to hang out and to go out). I love watching movies and TV shows.
