About Me

I'm a pretty open-minded, easy-going person who enjoys a night out just as much as good talk at home with a cup of tea or glass of wine. I love being outdoors and travel as much as my job allows. I love meeting new people and getting to know their ideas on life. Recently my life has changed quite a bit thanks to my little son. So life is full of a different kind of adventure for me nowadays. My volunteer work is also a quite big part of my life as I'm a founding member of a local animal rights/animal welfare organization. Apart from that I still love going to concerts and festivals or just trying to be a little creative. I also enjoy a good laugh (and usually i even manage to combine those things...).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love traveling, meeting new people and getting to know different cultures. I've been doing a bit of couch surfing but on a private base for a few years and also got to use this beautiful website quite a bit now. It always was a great experience and the best way to get to know other countries and cultures - no matter if it was Portugal, Switzerland, Australia or Scotland. I've met great people everywhere and hosted them at my place as well.
