Young at heart and in spirit, even if I have a few grey hairs. :-D Non-smoker. My son (26) now studies in Bayreuth. I have an indoor cat and lots and lots of books. I am originally from the USA, but have lived and worked in Germany since 1992. I live in Rostock (NE Germany), a beautiful city right on the Baltic Sea coast. I have a guest room for one person or a pull-out couch if there are 2 of you.

*** The earlier you request a stay, the more likely I am to say yes! ***

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very open minded and love to travel. Some friends in the States and in Germany are active in couch surfing. I live near the train station and public transportation, so it is easy to get here and around in town. If you give me enough notice, I could pick you up at the train /bus station or take you somewhere.

I have hosted people before I joined couchsurfing. Contact me for names and info.
