Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

You are very welcome to stay in my little cottage in the countryside. It is very small but a matrass in the livingroom is no problem. Mind you midweeks i am getting up at 6 AM .

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had many couchsurfing experiences but that was in the time there wasn't any internet. It is fanatastic to meet someone on the journey ..hang out..have a meal ..a drink and move on with a great experience..reminds me of Tom Waits songs

Interests

I really enjoy to go travelling and explore new places meet new people, eat local food and dance and listen to local music. I am a primary school teacher so i like to work with kids. In my free time i'm hosting a radioshow and manage a foundation for kids to learn more about environmental issues and back to the roots workshops.
